Kailua residents must prepare and place refuse and recyclables for curbside collection following city rules on timing, bundle weight, and green waste dimensions.
ROH Sec. 42-1.4 sets the preparation and set-out rules for curbside collection by the City and County of Honolulu. In manual collection zones, tree branches must not exceed 9 inches in diameter, green waste must be cut to lengths no longer than 3 feet, and bundles are limited to 50 pounds. Carts must be placed correctly and set out per the designated schedule. Sec. 42-1.5 governs limitations including unsafe or untimely placement. Kailua's narrow beach-access streets and high visitor volume make compliance especially important to avoid blocked sidewalks and overflow issues.
Improperly prepared refuse or out-of-spec bundles may be refused for collection and can result in notices and fines.
