Last day of operations for solid waste staging area at Kepuhi Point
set for May 31
County officials are announcing that the last day of operations for the solid waste staging
area located at Kepuhi Point will be May 31.
"Mahalo to our state partners for allowing the County of Kauai the use of this site for
over the past year," said Deputy County Engineer Lyle Tabata. "As part of our agreement, the
County of Kauai will be restoring this site prior to the reopening of Kuhio Highway — which is
targeted for June 13, set by the Hawaii Department of Transportation."
The staging area at Kepuhi Point is currently open on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and
Sundays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and will be open for operations on Friday, May 31.
The Solid Waste Division encourages residents to utilize the Hanalei refuse transfer
station, which is open 7:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. daily. Additionally, green waste service is also
available, weather permitting, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.
Residents who do not have refuse collection service may download forms online at
https://www.kauai.gov/RefuseCollection or call 241-4091.
