Honolulu ENV warns residents of missed trash collections

HONOLULU (KHON2) — The City and County of Honolulu Department of Environmental Services (ENV) announced that gray and blue trash bins in the area between Foster Village and ʻĀina Haina have not been collected due to a shortage of garbage trucks.

ENV blames the problem on delays in truck production and parts deliveries due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Of the 73 trucks ordered in recent years, only 17 have been delivered. No new trucks have arrived since November 2020.

The city expects to receive eleven new trucks by the end of the year.
