SR 86 Hawaii Senate · 2024 Regular Session

URGING THE STATE, CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU, AND UNITED STATES MILITARY TO COORDINATE AND ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF ILLEGAL DUMPING WITHIN WAIPAHU AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES OF EWA, PEARL CITY, AND AIEA ON OAHU.

This Senate Resolution urges the State of Hawaii, the City and County of Honolulu, and the United States military to coordinate efforts to address illegal dumping in Waipahu and surrounding communities like Ewa, Pearl City, and Aiea. The bill highlights concerns about environmental hazards, public health risks, and the negative impact on schools and local pride caused by dumped waste, such as shopping carts blocking drainage ditches. It does not create new laws or funding but serves to formally request cooperation among these agencies to clean up polluted areas and improve waste management practices. Copies of the resolution are to be sent to relevant government officials and military commanders to ensure the issue receives attention.
