The East Hawaii Regional Sort Station will continue to limit the amount of commercial waste hauled in at once through the end of September.
Businesses hauling commercially generated waste are required to limit their load sizes to 5 cubic yards until the end of September, although that restriction could end earlier depending on circumstances.
The county Department of Environmental Management advised customers that 5 cubic yards is roughly equivalent to a full-length pickup truck bed filled to the top of the cab.
Businesses hauling residential waste can continue to do so from 7 a.m.-4:15 p.m. daily at the sort station, which is located at the South Hilo Sanitary Landfill.
