HI HCR111

Encourages the City and County of Honolulu to expand and improve services at the Wai'anae Convenience Center, the only refuse disposal center on Oahu's west side for bulky items and waste.

Requests the Department of Environmental Services Refuse Division consider increasing the number of bins at the center and hiring additional staff, including refuse vehicle drivers.

Identifies extreme wait times of up to three hours at the center that create unsafe transportation conditions, traffic congestion affecting nearby residents, and issues with mail delivery and daily services.

Notes that inadequate service at the center has contributed to increased illegal dumping on the Leeward Coast and west side of Oahu in recent years.

Requires certified copies of the resolution be transmitted to the Mayor, Director of Environmental Services, and Chief of the Refuse Division of the City and County of Honolulu.
