Christina Jedra, Honolulu Civil Beat, 5 Apr. 2022

The city has until the end of the year to choose a new landfill site.

The future of Oahu’s municipal landfill at Waimanalo Gulch is again in question after a committee charged with helping to choose a location for its replacement rejected all the options it was given.

The city is under orders to choose a new location by the end of the year.
