HONOLULU – The City and County of Honolulu’s Department of Environmental Services (ENV) has temporarily closed the Waimānalo Convenience Center following fires at the facility last night.
The Honolulu Fire Department responded swiftly, extinguishing two fires – one in a large 40-cubic-yard bin and another in a trash compactor. Initial assessments indicate the cause of the fire was not related to city operations. ENV crews are now working diligently to assess damage, ensure safety, and restore the site for public access. The facility is expected to reopen tomorrow, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Residents are encouraged to hold onto their waste until the Waimānalo Convenience Center reopens or utilize an alternative city disposal site. For a full list of alternate drop-off locations, please visit the ENV website.
