Automated trash pickup begins for thousands in Upcountry Maui
Advertiser Staff
Approximately 5,500 Upcountry homes will begin automated refuse service this week.
Residents who received a new, dark brown automated refuse cart should place it out for collection on their two designated pickup days per week. The Maui County Department of Environmental Management said carts should be placed at the curb, at least 5 feet from any obstructions. Collection may occur any time between 5 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
A list of street names, pickup days and type of service (manual or automated) is available online at www.mauicounty.gov/refusecollectiondays.htm.
