| IRS990/Desc | 0 | KULA COMMUNITY GREEN WASTE BINS THE GOAL IS TO NOT ONLY HELP REDUCE FUEL LOADS FOR FUTURE FIRE EVENTS, BUT ALSO HELP THIN OUT PROPERTIES AND GULCHES THAT ARE DRY AND OVERGROWN. THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO AID IN THE FIRE HARDENING OF PROPERTIES THROUGH THE CREATION OF DEFENSIBLE SPACE. KULA LACKS RESPONSIBLE, CONVENIENT DISPOSAL OPTIONS, SINCE THE ONLY COUNTY GREEN WASTE FACILITY IS A 30-MINUTE DRIVE (ONE WAY), AND HAS OPERATING HOURS THAT DON'T ALIGN WITH MANY RESIDENTS SCHEDULES. CONSEQUENTLY, MANY PROPERTY OWNERS DEFER THEIR YARD MAINTENANCE, OR DANGEROUSLY DISPOSE OF THEIR RESIDENTIAL GREEN WASTE, WHICH CREATES A COMMUNITY FIRE HAZARD. |
