STORY SUMMARY

GLENWOOD, Hawaiʻi - A contractor will be repairing and replacing damaged railings at the solid waste collection facility.

(BIVN) – Repairs are set to begin at the Glenwood Recycling and Transfer Station, and the County of Hawaiʻi says the work will result in some service impacts during the construction period.

A contractor will be repairing and replacing damaged railings at the facility between August 8 and December 7. Work will be done outside of operating hours, however “the project will result in bay closures at times which may cause delays for users”, the County says.

Recycling services at the Glenwood station will be temporarily suspended and the collection bins will be taken off-site. Residents are asked to take their recyclables to the Volcano or Keaʻau recycling and transfer stations.

Operating hours for Volcano and Keaʻau are:
