Hawaiʻi County to install fencing at Hilo Transfer Station

The County of Hawaiʻi Department of Environmental Management will begin installing about 600 linear feet of fencing improvements at the Hilo Transfer Station on Monday, April 28.

The project includes the installation of chain-link fencing and multiple double-swinging gates with locking latches. Most of the work will take place in the area of the cardboard recycling bins.

These improvements will enhance site security and support better traffic flow. The project will cost $126,000 and construction is expected to take about 60 days to complete.

The Hilo Transfer Station will remain open during construction. The community is asked to follow all posted signage and exercise caution near active work areas.
