Kula Community Green Waste Initiative
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.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$57.4KKula Disaster and Fire Relief Program

FIRE FUEL REDUCATON AND CONVERSION REDUCING KULA'S FUEL LOAD IS ONE OF OUR TOP PRIORITIES, AND WE'RE HELPING NEIGHBORHOODS ESTABLISH FIREBREAKS AND REDUCE DANGEROUS FUELS ON THE GROUND AND IN GULCHES. NUMEROUS OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING THE 2016 COMMUNITY WILDFIRE PREVENTION PLAN FOR UPCOUNTRY, IDENTIFY ABUNDANT FUEL AS ONE OF KULA'S TOP HAZARDS. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE SEEMS TO BE A BOTTLENECK IN IMPLEMENTATION, SO MALAMA KULA IS TAKING THE RECOMMENDED STEPS AND TURNING THEM INTO ACTION. AS AN ADDED BENEFIT, WOOD CHIPS CREATED FROM REMOVING DRY FUELS ARE DISTRIBUTED WITHIN THE KULA COMMUNITY FOR EROSION CONTROL, SOIL RETENTION, SUPPRESSION OF INVASIVE PLANT SPECIES, AND IMPROVED MOISTURE RETENTION IN THE LANDSCAPE.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$40.7K
