East Honolulu residents must use city-supplied automated carts or compliant containers up to 35 gallons, placed curbside no earlier than allowed and removed after collection, under ROH Section 42-1.4.
Section 42-1.4 governs refuse container specifications and curbside placement. Private containers must hold 10-35 gallons, weigh no more than 25 pounds empty, be under 75 pounds when filled, and have a tight-fitting lid. City-provided gray, blue, and green automated carts are the preferred container in East Honolulu's automated-cart zones covering most of Hawaii Kai. Carts must be at the curb by the start of the collection day, set out no earlier than the evening before, and removed by the end of collection day. Handles must face the home, with clearance from mailboxes, vehicles, and bulky items to allow the automated arm to operate.
Overloaded bins, non-compliant private cans, carts left at the curb beyond collection day, or blocked automated-arm access can result in skipped pickup and Section 42-1.4 citations.
