Any transfer stations open on Monday?

[TomK]

My fridge has died and I came home to a smelly mess this evening. Anyone know if the transfer stations (i.e., Keaau or Pahoa) are open on Monday? I know they close on Christmas day but am not sure if that also means Monday in this case, as that's the official holiday this year.

I have a bunch of things I was planning to do on Monday but if I know I can take some mess to a transfer station It'd really help me out.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and thanks in advance for any help!

Tom,
I conclude from this that Keaau Transfer station is open Dec 26th:

I'm fairly certain I'd heard that the transfer stations are only closed Christmas day and New Year's Day.

Thanks, rbakker, those links do imply they're open on Monday. I found the latter site but hadn't found the first one you posted. Thanks for that, much appreciated!

Hopefully this won't become a hazmat problem by tomorrow...

I believe you have to take appliances like refrigerators and ovens to the Pahoa station.I took a friends there a coupole weeks ago.

Tom,
I want to send you my sympathy (a little late). One of the nastier experiences to come home to decomposition and a large moribund home appliance. Been there more than once.

So sorry it afflicted your Christmas.
Hope you get a nice new one for a good post-Christmas price. []

oh, and you've probably already dealt with it, but some appliance sales include the removal of the old dead one. Sears sometimes offers that. I've been getting spammed by Sears emails promising me 40% off appliances (wasted on me).

Just wanted to say an additional thank you to Jon and KathyH. I have used the Pahoa transfer station in the past to drop off old appliances but heard they closed during the work there a little while ago and didn't know if they were accepting appliances again. Good to know they are! And it turns out the fridge is still alive although it needed a little work. Too late to save what was in there but fortunately there wasn't too much stuff although you wouldn't have known that from the smell!

Thanks again, everyone.
