The County of Hawai‘i announces that Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection events will occur between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., at the following locations:

  • Saturday, March 3, 2018, at the Waimea Recycling and Transfer Station.
  • Sunday, March 4, 2018, at the Pāhoa Recycling and Transfer Station.

These events are for household-generated and self-hauled waste only. Business, government agency, nonprofit agency or farm wastes are not allowed. No electronic waste and no tires will be accepted.

The County of Hawai‘i Department of Environmental Management holds these regular collection events so that 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 lights and pesticides. Latex paint will only be accepted at the Waimea event for reuse.
