URGING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO ADDRESS ILLEGAL DUMPING IN EWA BEACH.

This House Resolution (HR 45) urges the City and County of Honolulu to address illegal dumping in Ewa Beach through specific, non-binding recommendations. It calls for adopting innovative programs like increasing disposal site access in high-dumping areas, offering weekly bulk item pickup (instead of appointment-only services), and testing pilot programs with measurable metrics. The resolution references successful models from cities like Sacramento, Houston, and Milwaukee as potential solutions. It directly affects Honolulu officials, including the Mayor, City Council, and Environmental Services Department, by requesting concrete actions to tackle this community health and environmental issue. The resolution does not create new law but seeks to influence local policy implementation.
