Bill > HCR111

This Concurrent Resolution encourages the City and County of Honolulu to expand and improve services at the Waianae Convenience Center, which is the only facility on the west side of Oahu for residents to legally dispose of bulky items and other waste. The resolution highlights significant issues residents face, including extremely long wait times, unsafe conditions due to transporting waste, traffic congestion affecting local residents, and an increase in illegal dumping, all attributed to inadequate staffing and insufficient refuse bins at the center. To address these problems, the resolution specifically requests the Department of Environmental Services Refuse Division to consider increasing the number of refuse bins and hiring more staff, such as additional refuse vehicle drivers, to better manage the waste disposal needs of the community.
