If you're planning to take care of any county-related business in Kaua‘i this coming week, take note that you'll need to rearrange your schedule. In observance of Statehood Day, the County of Kaua‘i's offices will be shutting their doors on Friday. This was announced in a recent press release on the County of Kaua‘i's official website. But it's not just the offices – residents will also find neighborhood centers, certain recycling centers, and more closed for the holiday.
The list of closures is comprehensive, including neighborhood centers, the Puhi Metals Recycling Center, the Reynolds Recycling HI5 Redemption Center in Līhu‘e, the Kekaha Landfill, and all refuse transfer stations. Even the Waimea and Kapa‘a swimming pools won't be available for those looking to escape the heat in a public pool. On a positive note, the regular schedule for residential refuse pick-up will not be affected by the holiday.
While many services take a pause, not all conveniences will be disrupted. The Kaua‘i Community Recycling Services (KCRS) HI5 Redemption Centers in Kapa‘a and Kīlauea are exceptions to the rule and will operate as normal. Similarly, The Kaua‘i Bus will stick to its regular timetable, providing uninterrupted public transportation for those navigating the island during the day off.
Standard operations across the county will resume the following Monday, according to the County of Kaua‘i announcement. For those looking to plan ahead, further details on standard pool hours can be sourced from the Department of Parks and Recreation website, or by calling the office directly. Similarly, information about public transportation and recycling services remain accessible on their respective websites or via a quick phone call.
