Oahu residents cleaning up storm debris from Lala get extra help dumping tree branches and yard waste, with load limits temporarily lifted.

• Convenience centers and transfer stations across the island reopened Monday and are taking green waste.
• The two-load-per-day limit is waived at the Kapaa transfer station through August 24, so people can make as many trips as they need.
• Green waste must be loose — no plastic bags, no ties — because it all gets turned into compost.
• Special curbside pickups for big tree trunks and branches run the next two Saturdays, but you have to call for an appointment by August 27.
• Officials are asking people to hold off on tossing mattresses, couches, and old appliances for now so crews can focus on the storm debris.

Outlook: Cleanup is expected to keep flooding drop-off sites for the next couple of weeks, with daily green waste intake running several times higher than normal.
