The County of Kaua‘i has announced that several of its offices and facilities will be closed in observance of King Kamehameha Day, which falls on June 11 this year. According to a press release from the County of Kauai, the closure will impact all neighborhood centers, the Waimea and Kapa‘a swimming pools, all refuse transfer stations, the Kekaha Landfill, the Puhi Metals Recycling Center, and the HI5 redemption centers in Līhu‘e and Kekaha.
While these services will pause to honor the state holiday, the Kaua‘i Bus is set to continue operating on its regular daily schedule, allowing residents to easily move around despite the closures. The HI5 redemption center in Kapa‘a, operated by Kaua‘i Community Recycling Services, will also buck the trend and remain open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for those looking to manage their recycling needs, as reported by the County of Kauai.
The County of Kauai assured residents that residential refuse pick-up schedules will not be affected by the holiday closures. This means regular trash collection will proceed without interruption, a necessary service that helps to maintain the island's cleanliness and order.
In the statement obtained by the County of Kauai, it was confirmed that regular business hours for county offices and services will resume on Thursday, June 12. For those seeking further information on recreational services during this time, the county directs inquiries to the Department of Parks and Recreation website or to their contact number listed in the announcement.
Residents can check the Transportation website or call for holiday public transit info. For recycling or waste disposal details, the Recycling website is available and includes contact info. The County of Kauai also has a special page with HI5 recycling location information for easy access.
