City crews removed items left behind Friday morning by homeless campers at Kaneohe Civic Center Neighborhood Park in a continuing effort to enforce a stored-property ordinance.
"The city does these types of enforcements four to five days a week at unannounced times and locations," said Jesse Broder Van Dyke, a city spokesman.
Last week, cleanup operations conducted by crews from the city departments of Facility Maintenance and Parks and Recreation occurred in Waikiki and at the Nehoa Street drainage canal. Other locations in November included Kakaako, Kailua and Kohou Street.
The ordinance allows removal of personal items left on city property after a 24-hour advance notice.
In November city crews removed 14.3 tons of homeless people’s items from various locations on Oahu, Broder Van Dyke said.
Many of the homeless in the Kaneohe park had vacated the area with the help of service providers before Friday’s operation.
