One Month Later, City Trashes Stored Items

A month after impounding items kept by homeless people on the sidewalks near Moiliili, the city has thrown that stuff away.

That’s according to city spokeswoman Louise Kim McCoy.

We asked her about the status of stored belongings, since this past weekend marked 30 days since the city enforced the “stored property ordinance” against homeless folks in the Iwilei area. Here’s what she wrote back to us:

Last Monday, DFM disposed the items that had been stored from the Jan. 10th SPO enforcement in the areas of Moiliili Field, Old Stadium Park, and Pawaa In Ha Park. The items from the Jan. 19th SPO enforcement in Iwilei area have not been disposed at this time.

So far since Jan.10th, three individuals, including the owner of the bicycle, have contacted DFM to claim their items.
