Kapa‘a Refuse Transfer Station to be closed for renovations from Nov. 2, 2024, to Aug. 2, 2025
KAPA‘A – Solid Waste Officials announce that the Kapa‘a Refuse Transfer Station (RTS) will be closed for renovations from Nov. 2, 2024, to Aug. 2, 2025. Green waste will remain open, and closure signs have been posted at the Kapa‘a RTS.
These renovations will allow our refuse transfer station to operate more efficiently while providing environmental safeguards. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate the community’s understanding.
The renovations are part of the Island-wide Refuse Transfer Station Improvements project, which targets refuse transfer stations in Hanalei, Kapa‘a, Līhu‘e, and Hanapēpē. The improvements specifically address water quality standards and stormwater discharges.
While the Kapa‘a RTS is closed, all trash, tires, motor oil, and propane tanks can be taken to the Līhu‘e RTS at 3450 Ahukini Road, or the Hanalei RTS at 5-3751 Kūhiō Highway in Princeville.
Scrap metal and appliances can be taken to Hanalei RTS, and are not accepted at Līhu‘e RTS. These items can be delivered directly to Puhi Metals Recycling Center on Puhi Road. Puhi Metals also accepts eWaste for recycling.
