Affected facilities are:

The county is working diligently to accommodate services and will update the public as more information becomes available.

Residents are encouraged to take these items to Puhi Metals Recycling Center, located at 3951 Puhi Road in Līhu‘e, during the suspension period.

Puhi Metals Recycling hours are 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Call 808-245-6919 for additional information.
