Keʻei Transfer Station Green Waste Site is Closed Until Further Notice
The Ke’ei Transfer Station’s green waste site cannot reopen as planned this Sunday,
March 31, 2019, and will remain closed until further notice. The green waste closure is
due to the facility’s having reached the maximum storage capacity allowed by the State
Department of Health.
The public can take their green waste to the Kealakehe Transfer Station in Kona, which
is open for green waste seven days a week from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding
during this time.
