Mililani Town FAQ

Where should I store carts between pickups?

What if my cart is too heavy?

Overweight carts may not be collected. Keep weight under 75 pounds to meet ROH 42-1.4 and route requirements.

Urban Honolulu FAQ

My condo has a trash chute. Do these rules apply?

Not directly. City collection rules apply to curbside service. Condo trash rooms and chutes are governed by building house rules and private haulers, though lids and sanitation still matter.

What if my cart is stolen?

Report stolen or damaged carts to the Department of Environmental Services. The city replaces carts at no cost or a modest fee depending on the circumstances of loss.
