Refuse and recycling carts in East Honolulu must be placed curbside with proper clearance and set-out timing, and must not block sidewalks, driveways, or create safety hazards.
ROH Sec. 42-1.4 regulates cart and bin placement for curbside collection, including location, clearance from obstacles, and timing of set-out. Carts should be placed at the curb with handles facing the residence and adequate clearance from vehicles, mailboxes, and utility boxes for the automated collection arm. Sec. 42-1.5 imposes limitations where placement creates safety hazards or blocks pedestrian or vehicle traffic. Hawaii Kai cul-de-sacs and narrow streets require careful placement. Carts should be retrieved promptly after collection.
Blocking sidewalks, placing carts unsafely, or leaving carts out beyond the allowed window may result in warnings or non-collection.
