City crews working to dismantle so-called ‘trash mountain’ in Waipahu

Honolulu City councilmember Augie Tulba was on the ground today working to clean up his district. Island News Photojournalist Paul Omengkar shows us the work being done on the so-called Trash Mountain.

Augie sure has found his mission in life. He’s the real deal. Isn’t afraid of sweat equity and is down to earth honest. His district is lucky to have him!

[MK-sueg]

Gotta love AugieT, and not afraid to get in there and WORK, get dirty, ACTION and then talk! Mahalo AT!

[shirleyefting]

Thank you for helping clean up the island. God bless you 🙏🏼

[markrondon]

awesome seeing an elected official actually involved in the good that he fought the raise but just goes to show you that the ones who wanted the are they doing for their community

[bigjs]

Augie is one of our few good politicians. Not corrupt and greedy but actually for the community and the future of Hawaii

[autumnconde]

I love this man's idea and good heart for the community. If I get to be part of the community, I will help. Awesome project. Best to you. Aloha

SO SAD!ALL THAT TRASH IS FROM LOCALS TOO, NOT TOURISTS!😢

No kids should be walking through there to get to school, nor should they be walking a long way along Farrington Highway. Honolulu County needs to have a school bus system for ALL the public schools. Hawaii is greedy. Where is all that money going that we pay in taxes?

[AKHI]

A lot of hawaiians complain about tourist but its the locals doing all the trash dumping so much for love of the Aina

[Bitretro]

Mahalo Augie. That stream is a sewage dump. Homeless should be forced out of public property. It should be open to enjoy for the taxpayers

[jdmsll]

YA YOU AUGIE T. this guy for governor because he's always been pono.

[jolowg]

Anyone can b like Augie T and keep the Aina Clean or is Augie T the only Hawaiian the Cares bout our Aina 😂

[kawikadee]

I like Augie, he's one of the few that didn't get corrupt like most of them. Good job Augie.

[youngmafi]

[haroldbray]

WHY IS IT ONLY HIM&TUPUOLA GET THEIR HANDS DIRTY HELPING TO BETTER THIS ISLAND?SHOULD BE MANDATORY COMMUNITY SERVICE FOR ALL OUR POLITICIANS!😂

[allancruz]

I really hope that they don't make housing there!!! Make farm land that can have activities and charge with a small price to make the farm sustainable

[casedoumasr]

Nice to see the clean up but WHERE is this garbage going to and what does the state do to get rid of it been to Hawaii twice. Aloha 🇺🇸

[onekewlbraddah]

Ah the houseless love protecting the Aina and keeping it clean.

[johnsotelo]

Non profit yeah right, as long money is involved, somebody's making a profit.

[Pilikoa]

Good job but it will just get filled up again.
