Beverage
container law receives mixed reactions
New Year’s Day traditionally represents a
new beginning and a fresh start for the coming year. Many people
set goals and make resolutions in anticipation of a better future.
Similarly, the state of Hawai‘i embarked on the year 2005
with a new law in an effort to better Hawai‘i’s environment.
Effective Jan. 1, the Hawai‘i Deposit Beverage Container
Law was implemented by the Hawai‘i State Department of
Health. |

Beware the
gift of plastic
If you are given a retail gift card, and you
put it in a desk drawer and come across it a year later,
it’s likely to be worthless. That is because many gift
cards expire and once they do, your money disappears. If
the store allows a replacement of an expired card, the replacement
will likely carry a fee of $5 to $10.

How 'creditable' are you?
As of Dec. 1, 2004, Hawai‘i became one of several states
in which residents are able to obtain free credit reports from
three major credit bureaus. Ordering credit reports was normally
a service that credit bureaus charge for, but thanks to a 2003
federal law this service is free to all Hawai‘i consumers.
