It cost at least $2.2 million to clean up the mess left after January rains washed garbage out into the ocean from the Waimanalo Gulch Sanitary Landfill.
That figure was revealed in the final report submitted by Waste Management Hawaii, which runs the landfill for the city, to the Environmental Protection Agency earlier this month.
It includes only costs paid to contractors hired to help but does not include internal costs like labor, Hawaii general excise tax or "markup" by Waste Management. The report includes more than 800 pages of invoices to back up its expenses.
