Kaua‘i County Solid Waste Division advises the public about changes to its metals recycling services.
Resource Recovery Solutions, operator of Puhi Metals Recycling Facility, confirmed that as of Friday, May 1, it will be unable to accept vehicles for disposal because of capacity issues.
Junk vehicle disposal services historically offered at no cost to residents will be suspended until further notice as a result.
Kaua‘i Police Department will also not process abandoned and derelict vehicles for disposal during the temporary suspension. Members of the public are advised not to call police dispatch regarding abandoned vehicle pickups during this time.
The county is actively reviewing options to restore the service and anticipates these changes will be temporary.
“We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding and will share updates as more information becomes available,” said the Solid Waste Division announcement.
