Recycling Fundraisers

Lex Brodie's Tire Company Foundation sponsors the annual school competition,  challenging all of Oahu schools to learn and earn through HI-5 recycling drives. Each and every time your school reserves a HI-5 Community Collection Bin to support your fundraising event,  your school is automatically entered in the contest. The more times your school reserves a bin, the greater your chances to win! Prizes include $1000 (first place) and $500 (second place) matching donations to the Oahu schools that collect the most HI-5 containers in a single collection event during the contest period.

Punahou School has been among the top schools every year, beat out by the Pearl City High School Band last year (2010 school year), but back as number one this year (2011 school year). In a single collection event, Punahou collected more than 25,000 HI-5 beverage containers, earning $1,341, while Hawaii Baptist Academy, a skilled newcomer to the competition, took second collecting more than 23,000 HI-5 containers and earning $1,167. Lex Brodie's Tire Company Foundation presented a check for $1,000 to Punahou School and $500 to Hawaii Baptist Academy. Look for the action in an upcoming "Tiny TV" episode on OC16.

All of the participating schools are winners in that they raise funds for their schools and organizations through recycling revenues and learn the importance of protecting our environment by reducing waste. Lex Brodie's incentivizes the effort with matching fund awards, which has helped to get more and more schools engaged each year. For the 2011 school year, the competing schools recycled more than 500,000 HI-5 beverage containers, earning more than $27,000 for their schools.
