Kailua carts and bins must be placed safely at the curb with proper clearance and timing under Honolulu's refuse ordinance, or collection may be refused.
ROH Sec. 42-1.4 also governs cart and bin placement for city collection. Carts must be positioned at the curb with clearance from obstructions like parked cars, mailboxes, and utility poles. Unsafe placements that block traffic or sidewalks are prohibited under Sec. 42-1.5. Kailua's tight residential streets, especially near Kailua Beach and Lanikai, require careful placement to avoid interference with pedestrians and visitor parking. Carts should also be retrieved promptly to avoid creating obstructions.
Unsafe or untimely placement can result in skipped collection, warnings, and fines for repeat offenders.
