    QUESTIONS REGARDING REFUSE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL
    FROM NOVEMBER 7 THROUGH 13, 2011 (APEC WEEK)
    (revised November 10, 2011)

    1. If we live in an area away from Waikiki and the Convention Center, will our refuse collection be affected?
    Refuse collection service in secured areas around the APEC conference activities may be disrupted due to limited access for collection trucks. For other areas of the island, particularly east of Ward Avenue, service may be delayed due to traffic congestion. Outlying areas of the island should be unaffected, except for the day when the landfill and convenience centers are closed. Please leave your refuse at curbside. It will be collected either on your scheduled collection day or as soon as possible on the day(s) following your collection day. 

    2. Will Waimanalo Gulch Sanitary Landfill be open?
