HONOLULU (KHON2) — A fire Monday night at the Waimānalo Convenience Center has led to a temporary closure of the facility.
The City and County of Honolulu’s Department of Environmental Services (ENV) announced the closure Tuesday morning.
The Honolulu Fire Department quickly responded to the scene last night, extinguishing two fires— one in a large 40-cubic-yard bin and another in a trash compactor.
Early investigations suggested the fires were not related to city operations.
ENV crews are currently assessing the damage and ensuring the site is safe for reopening.
The facility is expected to resume operations Wednesday unless there are any unforeseen delays.
In the meantime, residents are urged to hold onto their waste or use alternative city disposal sites.
