The County of Hawai‘i’s Department of Environmental Management holds these regular collection events, at no charge to the public, so households can conveniently dispose of acceptable household hazardous waste in a manner that protects both public health and the environment. 

Acceptable household hazardous waste includes automotive fluids, used batteries, fluorescent bulbs, and pesticides.  For a more complete list of acceptable or unacceptable household hazardous waste, please visit our website at https://www.hawaiizerowaste.org/recycle/household-hazardous-waste/. The website includes other useful information on solid waste diversion and recycling.

These events are for household-generated and self-hauled waste only.  Business, government agency, non-profit agency, or farm wastes are prohibited by law.  Latex paint, electronic waste, and tires will NOT be accepted.
