Thursday, March 4 – Pick-up for customers who normally receive refuse service on Monday.
Friday, March 5 – Pick-up for customers who normally receive refuse service on Tuesday.
Monday, March 8 – No refuse will be collected.
Tuesday, March 9 – Regularly scheduled refuse pick-up for Tuesday customers.
Wednesday, March 10 -Customers who normally receive refuse service on Mondays will now receive service on Wednesdays.

All Lanai refuse customers will receive credit for missed refuse collection service on their next bill, which is scheduled to be mailed in June of 2010.

The truck is scheduled to return to Lanai from Maui on Wednesday, March 3, 2010. While on Maui, Valley Isle Commercial completed extensive servicing on brakes, hydraulics, and computer and electrical systems.

“We appreciate the patience Lanai residents showed while inconvenienced by the disruption of service,” said Cheryl Okuma, Department of Environmental Management Director. “We would also like to thank the many volunteers who assisted those in need, especially the disabled and elderly, by organizing alternative refuse services within the community.”
