What a Disgrace this is!


Crews were out here yesterday filling bags full of syringes and vials of blood, but residents at Ko Olina want to know why no one is here today when the medical waste keeps washing ashore.

"So they came out and cleaned-up for one day and left, that too is a disgrace," says Rob Eisenhart.

Eisenhart and his wife Mary live at Ko Olina, and say as long as waste keeps washing ashore, someone should be here cleaning it up.

"Yeah, they still should be out here cleaning of course," he says.

"We swim right here, we used to, now I can't for how long?" questions Mary Eisenhart.

Joe Whelan, the General Manager of Waste Management Hawaii, the Waimanalo Gulch Landfill operator, tells KHON2: "Waste Management completed the cleanup of the storm water outfall area yesterday and the area south of the sedimentation basin today. This is located on landfill property just above the outfall point."
