Blue bins to be used for green waste

Advertiser staff

Mayor Mufi Hannemann today announced the city's plan to begin curb-side pickup of green waste in neighborhoods that have received the blue recycling bins. The waste pickup is scheduled to begin in March, Hannemann said.

Currently, homeowners can get twice-a-month green waste pickup, but they must bag or bundle their grass and clippings. Under this plan, Hannemann said the blue bins that were intended for curbside household recycling will now be used for yard waste.
