Signs of Hawaii: This Is Not a Trash Can

Kinda looks like one to me but after reading the sign, I understand that this is not a trash can. But it really does look like one. Similar color as a trash can. Similar kind of opening as a trash can. I guess that amnesty bin sign on the bottom wasn’t explanatory enough (it isn’t).

Oh, I get it now!! The opening does not say “Mahalo.” That’s the difference! If it did, then of course, this would be a trash can.

While we’re at it, that yellow thing on the left side ain’t a cigarette butt receptacle or a cautionary slippery-when-wet pylon. I think you recycle your used straws from drinks in it. Discard that skinny straw into those skinny openings at the top, right? Just don’t throw your used cup into that trash-can looking thing.
