By the Inside Outreach team · November 23, 2025Westside cleanup results are in. More than 100 trash bags in two days.
Don’t get us wrong. There’s still a whole lot of work to do and rubbish to pick up out there. But we cleared out a lot.
Why the Westside
Paʻakea Road in Nānākuli is one of those spots that gets forgotten. Illegal dumping. Wind-blown trash piling up in the brush. Stuff that’s been sitting there so long people stopped seeing it.
But the people who live there see it every day. Their kids walk past it. And every time it rains, some of it washes toward the ocean.
We went back
One weekend wasn’t enough, so we went back in January for round two. That’s the thing about cleanup. It isn’t a one-time event. It’s a habit.
Mahalo to every single person who gave up their weekend. The Westside deserves to be clean too.
