Plan your drop-off

Dumps & landfills in Hawaii

Each Hawaii county runs its own drop-off network. Hawaii County's recycling and transfer stations take household rubbish free from residents only, with a county landfill and reload facility for bigger loads at $128 per ton. Honolulu runs seven residents-only convenience centers and three transfer stations, plus Waimanalo Gulch landfill for dirt, rock and concrete. Kauai and Maui sites are listed from map data only because their county pages could not be read from our server, so hours and fees are not confirmed.
