County of Kaua‘i: Applications available for income based vehicle hauling

A new income-based vehicle hauling program for qualified residents, nonprofits and small farmers is coming to the county of Kaua‘i.

To apply, visit https://www.kauai.gov/Residents/Submit-Request and choose the “Public Works\ Solid Waste” button.

The program is a one-time income or need-based program to facilitate the safe disposal of vehicles from private or public property for residents, nonprofit agencies and small farmers.

Residents at or below the very low-income level can apply. In addition, nonprofit entities that provide a public service for the residents of the county of Kaua‘i may also apply. Nonprofit entities include those that have property in churches, community outreach centers, community support centers or homeless assistance programs.

Nonprofit entities may also be those contracted by the county, state or federal government. However, property management must be the responsibility of the non-profit entity.

Others that can apply include small farmers clearing private, county, state, or federal property leased or owned by the farmer with a gross cash-farm income of less than $350,000. 

Those who do not qualify include residents who are not at or below the very low-income level, state or federal agencies, or businesses that are not small farmers.
