Household Hazardous Waste collection events will be held between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 5, 2022 at the Waimea District Park and on Sunday, March 6, 2022 at the Pāhoa Recycling and Transfer Station.

The County of Hawai‘i’s Department of Environmental Management holds these regular free public collection events so households can conveniently dispose of acceptable household hazardous waste in a manner that protects both public health and the environment.  The events are for household-generated and self-hauled waste only. Business, government agency, non-profit agency, or farm wastes are prohibited by law. No latex paint, no electronic waste, and no tires will be accepted.

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/householdhazardous-waste

The following safety rules will be enforced during this weekend’s events:

  • Individuals must remain in their vehicles unless directed by authorized personnel.
  • Prior to arriving, participants must place their HHW items in their trunk or truck bed.  Vehicles without a trunk or truck bed, can place materials in the unlocked and unoccupied backseat area.
  • ALL containers brought to the event will not be returned and should be disposable.
  • To minimize interactions, label HHW items (if possible) and make sure they are easily distinguishable and separate from anything else in the trunk or truck bed.
  • 6-foot physical distancing is required. Facial masks covering nose & mouth are required.
