The new transfer station is designed to encourage recycling, and will be able to accommodate green waste recycling, a HI-5 redemption site and reuse operations in the years ahead as the county adds those services in rural communities.
According to the county Department of Environmental Management, the overhaul is necessary because a wooden retaining wall has deteriorated to the point where it no longer is structurally sound.
Green Aina Engineering designed the project, which uses a design-build approach to allow the contractor to use lower-cost construction techniques. The contractor is William C. Loeffler Construction Inc. The project should be completed by early summer of 2015.
