As the initiator of this project Maui Recycling Group wishes to acknowledge the participation of all the individuals and organizations involved.

The enthusiastic participation and support of the management and staff of Smith Development Company was instrumental in moving the project forward from the beginning. Without their initial work, prior to any assurance that funding would be forthcoming, the project could not have progressed. In addition their "real-world" input, focusing on the economic barriers and operational considerations, was invaluable. It allowed the MRG project manager to design the project in a way that assured that others in the development and construction industries could see its value and utility. As the project progressed several members of the Smith Development staff, in particular Jennifer Spector, Ian Smith and Randy Hall, were also helpful and supportive.

The personnel of Maui Disposal Company (which became a unit of BFI after the project began) were also helpful and supportive. Their willingness to work with the unique requirements of the project helped ensure its success.

The primary impact of the project fell on the management and staff of the Dilloway Construction Company. Although their major concern was completing their commitments regarding timely and quality construction of the 26 housing units, they were more than willing to set aside time to develop and review the on-site source separation programs. Special thanks go to Jon Dilloway, Kyle Smith, Sye Smith, Morrow Smith and many of the tradespersons involved in the construction.

David Goode, Deputy Director of Public Works for the County of Maui, and Dr. Hana Steel, Recycling Coordinator, were enthusiastic and supportive throughout the course of the project. Both supported the MRG grant request and were always available to provide information and ideas on making the project as successful and meaningful as possible.

Tim Gunter of Maui Earth Compost also performed a vital task willingly and professionally. He and his staff modified their processes to accept the drywall and integrated it into their composting process quickly and efficiently. In addition they allowed their baseyard to serve as a temporary repository for treated lumber recovered from the project site.

Thanks also go to Rick Woodford, President, and Joy Webster, Executive Director, of the Maui Recycling Group. They, along with the MRG Board of Directors, provided the organizational and administrative support necessary for any project of this nature to succeed.
