PUNA, Hawaii: The Hawaiʻi Police Department, in cooperation with the Department of Transportation’s State Highways Division and local community organizations, conducted a coordinated “Adopt a Highway” cleanup project on Saturday (August 25) along Highway 130 in the Puna District.

“The cleanup was a great success and we plan to do more,” said Acting Captain Reed Mahuna. “A special thank you goes out to all the community groups that assisted with the cleanup. It is this type of collaboration that we really appreciate.”
