ROH Sec. 42-4.8 requires Oahu residents to schedule appointment-based curbside bulky-item pickup and authorizes cost recovery; bulky waste left more than 7 days after written notice is a public nuisance.
Honolulu County collects bulky wastes such as furniture, appliances, and large household items by appointment. Under ROH Sec. 42-4.8, residents must schedule pickup with the Department of Environmental Services and set items out no earlier than the evening before the scheduled date. The ordinance authorizes the city to recover the cost of removing bulky waste that is not handled properly. Failure to dispose of or remove bulky wastes within 7 days after written notice from the city constitutes a public nuisance, exposing the owner to abatement costs and additional fines.
Placing bulky items without an appointment, early set-out, or failing to remove items within 7 days of written notice can result in cost-recovery billing and nuisance abatement charges.
