NEWS RELEASE
Kalapana Solid Waste Transfer Station Will Reopen For Saturday
Collection
Due to the road conditions on Highway 130 from the volcanic activity, the Kalapana Solid
Waste Transfer Station was closed during the month of May. The State Department of
Transportation has determined that it is safe for the Solid Waste Division Trucks to cross
the metal plates on the road and transport refuse out of the Transfer Station.
The Station will be open one day per week on Saturdays from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and
will resume collection on Saturday, June 16, 2018.
The Division asks for everyone’s assistance with this new schedule change, and asks the
public to not leave refuse outside the gates at the facility on the days the Station is closed.
Please direct your questions regarding this schedule change to the Department of
Environmental Management Solid Waste Division at 961-8270, or email to
swd@hawaiicounty.gov. Mahalo for your kōkua.
