Spokeswoman Louise Kim McCoy just told me that the city issued 10 storage and disposal notices today — seven in Iwilei and two in Moiliili. They collected 12 garbage bins full of items and will store them at the Halawa baseyard.
Interestingly, the homeless people had a lot of rubbish today. City workers, with permission from the homeless, disposed of 10 dump truck loads of things like wooden pallets, cinder blocks and other belongings that the people didn’t want stored.
As for the hoop in Mililani that was issued a warning on Tuesday, Kim McCoy said the city will check back before the end of the week to see if there’s been compliance.
Thus far, three people have visited Halawa to reclaim their property, she said.
