HONOLULU (AP) — The last multifamily dwellings on Oahu that receive city trash pickup service will lose it next year, leaving some property managers scrambling to find money to pay private companies to haul their garbage after decades of the city handling that for free.
Ending the service Jan. 31 is a matter of fairness, said city Environmental Services Director Lori Kahikina. The majority of other similar privately owned buildings such as townhouses, condominiums and apartment complexes already pay private companies to remove their garbage. Most single-family homes on Oahu don’t pay a fee for curbside trash pickup.
