Maui County Announces Office Closures and Service Schedule for Martin Luther King Jr. DaySource: Maui County

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the County of Maui will pause its operations to allow the community to reflect on the legacy of the civil rights leader. According to an announcement from the Maui County, residents can expect closures and modified schedules for various county offices, facilities, and services on Monday.

Maui will shutter all of its county offices for the day along with all county pools, a few specific services like the Office of Recovery – West Maui, and the Recovery Permit Center. For those looking to drop off trash or compost, your plans will need a quick adjustment - Hāna, Molokaʻi, and Lānaʻi landfills won't be taking any waste that day. In a surprising twist of efficiency, however, residential trash collection and the Maui Bus service will continue without a blip on the holiday schedule.

The Central Maui Landfill and Maui EKO Compost gets a truncated day, open from 6 a.m. to noon, as does the Olowalu Recycling & Refuse Convenience Center, which opens later at 8 a.m. but also closes up shop at noon. This bit of information serves to remind those bent on using their day off for some cleaning that not all services are taking the full day to honor MLK Jr.

With these holiday closures in place, county residents can expect regular operations to resume the following day. The County of Maui confirms that offices and services will return to their normal business hours on Tuesday. Life in Maui will take a brief pause, collectively honoring the memory and impact of a man who dedicated his life to advocating for equality and justice.
