The plan does not present or recommend any conceptual or engineering design for upgrading any specific transfer station. Neither does the plan discuss or recommend specific facility locations. 1.3 Purpose Of This Plan The County's Department of Environmental Management is in the process of redesigning its entire solid waste management system. This initiative is in response to several factors: • An updated integrated solid waste management plan, completed December 1, 2002. • Projected closing of the Hilo landfill within approximately one to two years. • Rising costs for solid waste management. • Budget restrictions. • Long-standing problems requiring immediate resolution. This plan is intended to: • facilitate integration of the Kea`au recycling and reuse center into the evolving County solid waste management system; • identify ways to sustain the Kea`au recycling and reuse center as a permanent part of the County solid waste management system; and • outline a process for creating a system of neighborhood recycling centers by replicating the Kea`au model at other transfer stations. 1.4 Structure of This Plan Chapter II gives an overview of the Kea`au pilot community recycling and reuse project, including its history, structure, accomplishments, and lessons learned.
