Kailua property owners must use approved refuse containers and place them at the curb in accordance with ROH Sec. 42-1.4 for collection by the City and County of Honolulu.
ROH Sec. 42-1.4 governs how Kailua residents prepare and place refuse and recyclables for pickup. Containers must be 10 to 35 gallons, no more than 25 pounds empty or 75 pounds when filled, and fitted with a tight-fitting lid. City-provided automated carts are the standard for most Kailua neighborhoods. Carts must be placed at the curb on the collection day and removed the same day. Refuse cannot block sidewalks, driveways, or traffic. The ordinance supports the city's automated collection system used throughout windward Oahu, including Kailua Town and the beach neighborhoods.
Violations include fines for improper placement, overweight containers, missing lids, or leaving carts at the curb past collection day.
