ROH Sec. 42-1.4 requires Oahu residents to place refuse and recycling carts at designated curbside locations with safe clearance, while Sec. 42-1.5 restricts unsafe or obstructive placements.
Honolulu County requires that refuse, recycling, and green-waste carts be placed at the curb in the location, orientation, and clearance directed by the Department of Environmental Services. ROH Sec. 42-1.4 covers set-out timing and placement, and Sec. 42-1.5 provides limitations on collection when placement blocks traffic, creates a hazard, or prevents safe servicing by automated trucks. Carts must be kept a specified distance from obstacles, vehicles, and other carts so that the collection arm can operate. Noncompliant carts may be skipped until corrected.
Blocking sidewalks, parking over set-out areas, leaving carts in the roadway, or placing carts where they interfere with collection can result in missed pickups and civil fines.
