Maui Discussion

I read about the household hazardous waste collection event in The Maui News, but you didn’t cite a location. When I looked at the county calendar, I noticed an event that happens some Saturdays, but it didn’t require making an appointment. Is this the same type of recycling event?

Are blue HID headlights legal in vehicles if they’re not factory installed?

Can you please address an issue regarding the bus operating into Waihe‘e on Kahekili Highway? Why couldn’t there be buses in the valley toward the Waihe‘e school district?

How can I dispose of or recycle fire extinguishers sold for home use here on Maui? If it’s been used and the gauge shows empty.

I was at Ho‘okipa earlier this week and saw a woman jump into the ocean while the surf was huge. One of the lifeguards went out to save her, but I could see them arguing and she refused to get on his rescue board.

When not attacking me, they give me murderous looks and say they will “get” me sooner or later. I have no doubt they will try.

What criteria does the county use when selecting where to place them within residential communities, and do the residents have a choice as to where the bus stops are placed?

I know O‘ahu has a bulky item pickup day. Does Maui have a similar service, like for couches and other big stuff?

What are the different programs offered to help teach children how to swim? Are the county programs year-round or only during the summer, and what exactly are they?

We noticed that the new road to the airport was lined with some nice, already large monkeypod and shower trees. We would like to purchase one for our house, but we can’t seem to find a seller. Could you help us?

Why is the county car auction in such disarray with cancelled auction dates and a jam-packed storage area? Why not one every month instead of every two months, and now, who knows after the latest cancellation?

I called the police records department and they told me that unless my name is on the report I cannot get this information. Why is that?

I am concerned about the growing homeless camp by the fence bordering the wildlife sanctuary at Kanaha Pond.

My 6-year-old son loves going to Maui County pools. However, lately he has asked, “Mom, why is that lady’s butt hanging out?”

The sensor on the new traffic signals at Ohukai and Pi‘ilani Highway doesn’t “see” motorcycles, bikes, scooters or even cars that have stopped too far behind them.

I was wondering if there is a way to survey the want and/or need for tennis courts to be included in the park being built for Waikapū?

I’ve heard about this no dancing law, but I’ve never seen it in effect personally. So we can dance on the dance floor of a liquor serving establishment, but once you step off, you can’t dance anywhere within the building?
