The County of Hawai‘i Department of Environmental Management, Solid Waste Division, announced the suspension of its E-Waste Collection Program as State funding has been exhausted for Fiscal Year 21-22.

The suspension takes place immediately, therefore all residents and businesses should make alternate plans for disposal or consider holding on to their e-Waste until the program restarts.  Residents and businesses may still elect to utilize services provided by Mr. K’s Recycle & Redemption, located in Hilo; however, they will be required to pay for recycling services. Additionally, Mr. K’s offers pick-up services for customers with larger quantities of electronics.

The County’s e-waste collection program will be restructured, and a redesigned program will be available to the public again sometime after July 1, 2022.
