BILL NO. Is
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 20, OF THE HAWAII COUNTY CODE
1983 (1995 EDITION), RELATING TO REFUSE FEE SCHEDULE.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAI'L•
SECTION 1. This bill seeks to more accurately charge for costs incurred by the
Solid Waste Division in providing necessary services to divert organics from our
landfills. The Update to the Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan, completed in
2002, has identified organics diversion through mulching and composting as key
elements of a comprehensive and effective solid waste disposal and recycling program.
The plan complies with state mandates of waste reduction and provides a path to provide
a variety of solid waste services. This bill takes another step in implementation of the
plan.
The County has established a greenwaste program to create mulch. We are
moving towards expanding these services and products to create a certified compost
product, in addition to mulch, from the organic portion of the waste stream. The program
complies with all applicable laws regarding greenwaste disposal and diversion from
landfills throughout the State of Hawaii. The requirements are found in Hawaii
Administrative Rules Title 11, Department of Health Chapter 58.1 Solid Waste
Management Control Subchapter 6 § 11-58.1-65 (b). To promote the required diversion
of 75% of commercially generated greenwaste this bill sets a reduced fee. Adoption of
these changes will reduce the Solid Waste Division's dependence on the General Fund as
well as continue implementation of the Update to the Solid Waste Management Plan.
