Lihu`e refuse transfer station traffic pattern to be modified to one-way
entrance and exit
LIHU`E — Effective Tuesday, July 30, the County of Kauai Solid Waste Office will be
modifying the traffic pattern for the LThu`e refuse transfer station to a one-way directional flow.
All traffic will enter as normal through the refuse transfer station gate. Vehicles leaving
the facility will exit through the Kauai Resource Center (KRC) parking lot.
"We ask that customers please drive with caution as the Reynold Recycling customers
will also be exiting through the KRC parking lot as well. Signs will be posted at designated areas
to help with the traffic flow," said Deputy County Engineer Lyle Tabata.
In conjunction with the modified traffic flow, Reynolds Recycling customers will not be
allowed to line up earlier than 8:45 a.m. before the facility opens, or at 1:15 p.m. before the
facility re -opens for lunch. Vehicles that line up when the facility is closed cause operational
hazards for Solid Waste personnel and the public entering the Lihu`e refuse transfer station.
Monitors will be in the area and signage will be posted to notify the customers of this change.
Customers must also be aware that Solid Waste trucks and trailers will continue to exit
against traffic through the transfer station gate, as the KRC exit is too small. Flaggers will be
stationed when the trailers are exiting the facility.
As a reminder, residential battery drop off and public restrooms at the KRC are not
available on weekends. Please do not try to enter the area or leave batteries around the facility
on Saturdays and Sundays.
For further assistance or questions please contact the Solid Waste Office at 241-4841.
