💨 Abstract

In Lahaina, Hawaii, 50 trucks will spend five months transporting wildfire debris to a landfill. The debris, weighing about 400,000 tons, is from a 2023 wildfire that killed 102 people. The trucks will operate during the day, using specific routes to minimize disruption. The debris, which includes toxins like arsenic and lead, will be wet and wrapped in plastic for safe transport.
