Does anyone remember the rationale behind the change? Perhaps there was a good reason
This is what I remember. The Keaau Transfer Station was always open 24 hours. One day I drove up and the whole place stunk to high heaven, with two workers shoveling up what they described as fish heads. Some idiot tried to dump a huge load of old fish parts into one of the dump trailers, but missed, leaving the pile where transfer station users would normally park to off load. It was truly disgusting. It still smelled a week or two later, even after workers repeatedly hosed down the area.
After that they put up the fence, the gate, and posted hours. I can’t say for 100% certain the old fish was the reason, but one occurred shortly after the other.
