Enhanced mulch is available at the East Hawai‘i Organics Facility. <br />The mulch is treated for invasive species at EHOF since the modified State <br />Department of Health permit was issued. SWD relocated the greenwaste <br />recycling at the Waimea Recycling and Transfer Station to make it more <br />convenient for residents. <br />• New greenwaste drop-off guidelines for Recycling and Transfer Stations were <br />implemented on 07/08/19. The new requirements address the number of <br />loads, load sizes, and greenwaste dimensions. For more information go to <br />http://www.hawaiizerowaste.org/recycle/greenwaste/. <br /> <br />H.
