Nothing But Junk

Amidst the island’s landscape, rusting cars, rotting mattresses, discarded washers, tires, and bicycles now adorn the roadsides, creating a scene reminiscent of a landfill. Frustrated residents, faced with nowhere to dispose of certain items, have resorted to creating makeshift dump sites. If you need to get rid of your junk, consider getting help from Junk Removal services such as the Stache Junk Removal services.

The growing piles of waste not only mar the island’s natural beauty but also pose serious environmental hazards, attracting pests and contaminating the soil and water.

By choosing professional junk removal, residents can reclaim their spaces, restore the island’s charm, and contribute to a cleaner, healthier environment for everyone.

In the year since Molokai closed its metal recycling facility, residents have created illegal dumping grounds, like this one at the intersection of Maunaloa Highway and Kaluakoi Road, for lack of a better option.

Relief is on its way. Starting next week, Molokai Metals Facility (MMF) will be open temporarily to recycle vehicles, motorcycles, appliances, propane tanks, vehicle tires, batteries, scrap metals, metal roofing, gutters, sinks, faucets, pipes, bicycles, mowers, tools and fencing.

The hardest part of recycling is simply separating the materials, said Dwayne Kala, supervisor for the county’s contractor Recycle Molokai.

“You’re just lazy – throw all your trash in a bag, tie it up and that’s it,” he said. But taking the extra minute, he added, is a small price to pay for slowing the growth of the landfill.

Solid Recycling including E-cycling is open Tuesday to Saturday, 8 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Green Waste is open Thursday to Saturday, 8 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. For the landfill, call 553-3869; for MMF, call 877-2524.
