Bill > SR134

This Resolution encourages the City and County of Honolulu to improve and expand services at the Waianae Convenience Center, which is the sole facility on Oahu's west side for residents to legally dispose of bulky items and other waste. The resolution highlights significant issues at the center, including excessively long wait times of up to three hours, leading to unsafe transportation of waste and traffic congestion that impacts local residents. It also points to a lack of adequate staff, specifically refuse vehicle drivers, and insufficient refuse bins, which contribute to increased illegal dumping in the area. Therefore, the City and County of Honolulu is urged to consider increasing the number of bins and hiring more staff to address these problems and ensure proper waste disposal options for the growing west side community.
