Once a month, property owners in Honolulu are allowed to place their bulk trash out on the sidewalk in front of their houses and condominium buildings for scheduled pickup by city refuse workers. However, there has been a problem with some residents placing their items out on the street prior to their scheduled pickup day, creating eyesores of piles of trash. As a result, the city has decided to establish a new law which will fine residents $250 for dumping items prior to their scheduled bulk trash pickup day. According to the new law, starting May 1, 2013 violators will receive a notice of violation and would have seven days to remove the items. On the eighth day, a city Department of Environmental Services inspector will impose a $250 fine. To report an illegal dumping of bulk items, residents may call a city hotline number at 808 768-3203.
