Kaneohe residents must follow ROH Sec. 42-1.4 on container size, weight, lids, and curbside placement for city refuse and recyclable collection.
ROH Sec. 42-1.4 governs container standards and curbside setout for Kaneohe households. Allowable containers are 10 to 35 gallons, weighing no more than 25 pounds empty or 75 pounds full, and must have tight-fitting lids. Most Kaneohe neighborhoods use city-provided automated carts for the three-stream gray, blue, and green system. Carts must be placed at the curb on the scheduled collection day and removed promptly after pickup. They cannot block sidewalks, driveways, or fire hydrants. Chapter 42 is the current codification of the rules historically known as ROH Chapter 9 on refuse.
Overweight, lidless, or improperly placed containers can trigger fines, non-collection, and enforcement notices from the Department of Environmental Services.
