New days of operations for solid waste staging area at Kepuhi Point to
begin Oct. 31
County officials announced that the new days of operation for the solid waste staging
area located at Kepuhi Point will begin on Wednesday, Oct. 31.
"Given the extended timeline for the closure of Kuhi6 Highway, from Waikoko to
Wainiha, the reduction in hours is necessary to provide the community with continued refuse
service at Kepuhi Point," said Acting County Engineer Lyle Tabata.
The staging area will be open on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The hours of
operation, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., will remain the same.
Residents will be able to continue to dispose of the following: bulky items, green waste,
tires, metals, white goods, and propane tanks.
Liquid waste, hazardous waste, and regular household refuse are not accepted at the
staging area. Regular household refuse must be placed in county refuse carts on the right of
way for weekly refuse collection service.
For residents who are not signed up for refuse collection service, they may take their
trash to a refuse collection station. You may sign up for refuse collection service online at
https:/https://www.kauaigov/RefuseCollection/RefuseCollection or call 241-4091.
"To help the county continue this service for the community, we ask residents not to use
the site during non -operational hours," added Acting County Engineer Lyle Tabata.
The Solid Waste Division encourages residents to utilize the Hanalei transfer station if
possible, including the residential recycling bins.
