The Ke‘ei Transfer Station is now accepting residential greenwaste for disposal, according to a May 28, 2019, County of Hawaiʻi Department of Environmental Management, Solid Waste Division press release.

The greenwaste closure was due to the facility having reached the maximum storage capacity allowed by the Hawai‘i Department of Health.

The Solid Waste Division successfully removed all stored greenwaste at the facility to pave the way for
reopening the facility.
