Waipahu residents must use city automated carts or compliant 10-35 gallon private bins, placed curbside in the allowed window and removed promptly, under ROH Section 42-1.4.
Section 42-1.4 sets refuse container specifications and curbside placement rules. Private cans must hold 10-35 gallons, weigh 25 pounds or less empty, and no more than 75 pounds filled, with a tight-fitting lid. Waipahu is on the city automated-cart program, and the automated arm requires carts with handles facing the residence and clearance from parked vehicles, mailboxes, and planter hedges. On narrow Waipahu streets, careful spacing between carts is essential. Carts may be at the curb no earlier than the evening before collection and must be retrieved by the end of collection day. Non-compliant containers or overflow bags will not be collected.
Overloading carts, setting overflow bags outside the cart, or leaving carts at the curb past collection day violates Section 42-1.4 and can result in skipped pickup and citations.
