Oʻahu’s Landfill Dilemma
INSIGHTS ON PBS HAWAIʻI
The City and County of Honolulu selected a site on private land in Wahiawā for a landfill to replace the current Waimānalo Gulch Sanitary Landfill in West Oʻahu, which is scheduled to close in a few years. Critics don’t like the Wahiawā selection for numerous reasons including that it sits over an aquifer, or underground water supply. The city is lobbying the state to amend a law that limits where it can put a landfill. Join the conversation about Oʻahu’s Landfill Dilemma Thursday at 7:30 pm on Insights on PBS Hawaiʻi.
