The City’s recycling efforts were recognized with two awards this year. Branch Chief, Suzanne Jones, was recently recognized for her environmental leadership by the Keep the Hawaiian Islands Beautiful 2011 Mayor’s Laulima Award, and honored by the Organization of Women Leaders as the (public sector) 2011 Outstanding Woman of the Year. Over the past two decades, Jones and her team have implemented programs and policy that have dramatically increased recycling rates and public awareness. Oahu today recycles five times what it did in 1990 when she first took the helm, and now ranks among the top cities in the country in landfill diversion. Whether you recycle at home, school or work, Jones most likely has played a role in the program or policy development.
