Kula is one of Hawaii’s most overgrown, fire-prone communities.

Even though the 2016 Community Wildfire Protection Plan for Upcountry lists the need to address the extreme fuel load, and the importance of providing increased access to green waste disposal facilities, Kula residents still don’t have a viable option for disposing of their green waste.

To help provide our residents with tools to more easily care for their properties, Malama Kula founded the Kula Community Green Waste Bin Program, where we help fund green waste dumpsters in Kula and make them free for community use!

Since October, 2024, Malama Kula has facilitated 55 green waste bins which have helped removed 1,880 cubic yards of green waste that likely would have just been overgrown, or got tossed in the nearest gulch.

To help ensure the program’s success, please be sure to:

• Keep the area tidy and clean

• Not dispose of invasive plants that are seeding, such as fireweed and bull thistle (we recommend bagging it and throwing it away with household garbage)

• Green waste only—please no trash or carcasses!

• No commercial use. This program is for residents only and is funded by private donations.
