<br />6. Information on what profit-making waste management opportunities may exist on the <br />island of Hawaiʻi (per request of Commissioner Fritz). There is no publically available <br />Construction and Demolition (C&D) Landfill in the County. The collection and transfer <br />of grease trap/grease interceptors in the County is being stressed by the lack of <br />wastewater disposal options at Pacific Biodiesel. The grease disposal pit at Puʻuanahulu <br />has been reopened; however, the lack of available waste haulers has made this option <br />expensive. <br /> <br />7.
