Hawai‘i County plans to reopen these greenwaste sites tomorrow, Wednesday, July 10, with the exception of Keʻei, which will reopen on Friday, July 12

Residents and commercial greenwaste customers are asked to hold on to their greenwaste, or they may take their greenwaste to the East Hawaiʻi Organics Facility in Hilo.
