Volunteers discover, clean up two illegal dump sites in Makakilo

MAKAKILO—Mike Golojuch and campaign volunteers spent a majority of this past Saturday morning, September 11, clearing out two discovered dumpsites. Initially, volunteers had the intention of cleaning up a section of the H-1 between Makakilo and Kunia, however during Golojuch’s District 19 Senate campaign community service project they found two illegal dumping sites along the H-1 between Kualakai Parkway and Makakilo.

The first dumping site was on the makai side of the H-1 halfway between the Makakilo on-ramp and the Kualakai Parkway off-ramp.

The second was found at the Waianae bound H-1 on-ramp from Kualakai Parkway. Both sites were filled with used tires, broken surfboards, empty paint cans, furniture, sheets of Plexiglas, and other commercial items.

“This should disturb anyone, area resident or not,” Golojuch said in a statement. “They were right off the H-1 and the mauka dump site appeared to have been there for quite some time. While the makai side dumpsite seemed rather new.”
