Hawai’i Department of Environmental Management has Announced the Kalapana Transfer Station will now be open to provide a continuation of the same services to residents two days a week, an increase from the current one-day schedule. Beginning Wednesday, July 17, the transfer station will operate on Wednesdays and Saturdays during normal dump hours.

Hawai’i Department of Environmental Management’s decision to extend the hours follows numerous community consultations and careful consideration of the needs and concerns expressed by residents.

The Kalapana Transfer Station has been a valuable resource for residents, and this adjustment aims to improve accessibility and convenience. By opening the transfer station on an additional day, the County of Hawai’i continues to demonstrate its commitment to enhancing public services and meeting the needs of its citizens.

The new schedule will take effect starting July 17. The Kalapana Transfer Station will be open every Wednesday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of these extended hours for their convenience.
