News Release
County to Hold Blessing of the Wai‘ōhinu Reuse Center
The public is invited to join the Department of Environmental Management for the
blessing of its new Transfer Station Thrift Store at the Wai‘ōhinu Recycling and Transfer
Station on Monday, August 14 at 10:00 a.m.
To further the goal of reducing valuable resources going to our island’s landfills, the
County of Hawai‘i Department of Environmental Management has contracted with
Transfer Station Thrift Store LLC to open this reuse center.
Donations of reusable items will be accepted immediately after the blessing.
Please save your still-useable items and drop off at this new location instead of adding
them to the trash bin, and help reduce the volume going to the landfill.
A Grand Opening will be scheduled at a future date. Please follow Transfer Station
Thrift Store on Facebook to find out about the Grand Opening, store hours, daily deals
and future event announcements.
You can also email transferstationthriftstore@gmail.com for more information, and
further recycling information can be found at the County of Hawai‘i Solid Waste
Division’s website www.hawaiizerowaste.org .
County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer.
