TIRE REPORT
By Tiffany Edwards
For Puna Councilwoman Emily Naeole
And the Department of Environmental Management
Aug. 20, 2007
Conclusion: Most of the fire disposal fees are between $4 and $6, although Costco
Wholesale chazges the least, at $1. Most fire centers contract with Leo's Rubbish
Service, 271 Kekuanaoa St., Hilo, for fire disposal. However, there aze some fire centers
that contract with the Oahu-based Unitek Solvent Center Services Inc. and, in one case,
Arizumi Tire. There is also one fire center that gives the old tires back to customers,
refusing to dispose of them himself.
