Markus Owens  HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The city is cracking
down on illegal dumping in Oahu neighborhoods. Inspectors can
now issue hefty fines for bulky items dumped curbside days or
weeks before collection, but some people are concerned about
fair enforcement.  Joseph Tabisula takes daily walks around his
Aiea neighborhood. It's impossible for him to ignore a growing
pile of trash along Kaonohi Street.  "It's an eyesore and got
things like the sofas, beds, dressers, stuff like that, TV's,"
said Tabisula.  Now the city is taking action and stepping up
enforcement. Neighborhoods with high-rises are chronic hot
spots. The city notified all Association of Apartment Owners
(AOAO) on Oahu about the enforcement action. According to the
city, bulky items shouldn't be put out before 6 p.m. the day
ahead of a scheduled pickup.
