The City and County of Honolulu Department of Environmental Services (ENV) will be relocating blue recycling carts currently stationed at the Waialua Corporation Yard to the Kawailoa Transfer Station beginning this week.

The carts will be removed from the Waialua Corporation Yarad at 62-126 Emerson Road in Haleʻiwa on Thursday, June 18, and relocated to the Kawailoa Transfer Station at 62-180 Kawailoa Road, Haleʻiwa on Friday, June 19.

The move consolidates recycling resources at a staffed, monitored facility, helping to reduce cart contamination and deter illegal dumping. Residents looking to drop off recyclables are encouraged to visit the Kawailoa Transfer Station going forward.

💧 Use Less, Pay Less

Starting July 1, sewer rates are changing. The new rate structure is designed to encourage water conservation by giving residents more control over their sewer bill.

Under the new system, customers who use less water may pay less for sewer service. To help residents save, the City is also expanding access to programs and resources that support water conservation.

3 Ways to Save:
🔹 Conserve Water – The less water you use, the more you can save.
🔹 Apply for the ENV CARES Program – Income-qualified households may receive up to $240 per year in sewer bill credits.
🔹 Take Advantage of Appliance Rebates – Double rebates are available for qualifying water-efficient toilets and clothes washers through a partnership with the Board of Water Supply.

🌱 G.R.O.W. is rolling out, and food scraps are more valuable than you might think.

When food waste is composted instead of thrown away, it can be transformed into nutrient-rich compost that helps improve soil health and supports local agriculture.

Swipe through to see how food scraps complete the cycle—from your kitchen to compost, and back to the food we grow and enjoy.

Happy Aloha Friday! 🌺

Nestled between Waialua and Haleʻiwa on Oʻahu’s North Shore, the Paʻalaʻa Kai Wastewater Treatment Plant plays a vital role in protecting the health of the community and the surrounding environment.

Using the activated sludge process, wastewater is treated with the help of naturally occurring microorganisms that break down and remove contaminants. As the water moves through the treatment process, solids settle out and treated effluent is prepared for safe discharge in accordance with environmental regulations.

While often out of sight, facilities like Paʻalaʻa Kai play an essential role in keeping our communities and environment healthy every day.

Today, we honor King Kamehameha I and celebrate his enduring legacy of leadership, unity, and aloha. His vision helped u...

It was standing room only at a townhall Tuesday night organized by City Councilmember Augie Tulba and the Department of Environmental Services to discuss a proposed Ewa Beach Sewer Improvement District at Kaimiloa Elementary.

Over 120 community members showed up to hear about the City’s proposal to convert 976 residences with cesspools to city sewer. The City has roughly $83 million budgeted to pay for the project-- if residents and City Council are in favor of it. This proposed project is part of ENV’s effort to support State Law (Act 125) requiring all residents with cesspools (statewide) to convert to septic or sewer by 2050.

Most people don't see what we do. And that's the point.

Every day, the Department of Environmental Services protects our water, our land, and our future—so our keiki and future generations can grow up in the paradise we love.
