HONOLULU — Honolulu residents are complaining about trash piling up due to the city’s new bulky item pickup program.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Tuesday that the program has already resulted in garbage piles in front of residences and schools.
The city in April informed more than 70,000 single-family homes and multi-unit residential buildings about new collection procedures.
Single-family homes are limited to five bulky items per collection, while multiunit buildings may schedule up to 20 items.
Pickups must be scheduled online or by calling the city Department of Environmental Services.
The city placed 2,800 stickers on illegally dumped items last month but issued only 10 warnings.
The department says the program that began June 3 and is scheduled to continue through January has reduced the material put out for collection.
