The Laupāhoehoe Recycling and Transfer Station will reopen tomorrow following the completion of a $2.57 million improvement project.
Performed by Isemoto Contracting, the project involved installing a new chute with a canopy, repaving, replacement of the retaining wall, installation of a concrete swale and water retention system, and a new concrete pad.
To compensate for the closure, the County temporarily expanded hours at the neighboring Honomū Recycling and Transfer Station, which will return to its normal operating schedule today.
As of March 6, the Laupāhoehoe Recycling and Transfer Station Schedule is as follows:
- Monday: Closed
- Tuesday: Open 6 a.m.-6 p.m.
- Wednesday: Closed
- Thursday: Closed
- Friday: Open 6 a.m.-6 p.m.
- Saturday: Closed
- Sunday: Open 6 a.m.-6 p.m.
Recycling services at Laupāhoehoe include bins for glass, cardboard and brown paper, scrap metal, and whitegoods.
