Urban Honolulu residents follow ROH Sec. 42-1.4, which limits green-waste branches to 9-inch diameter, green-waste length to 3 feet, and bundles to 50 pounds for manual collection routes.
Most single-family areas in Urban Honolulu such as Manoa, Kaimuki, Kalihi, and Palolo are served by automated cart collection with green-waste and mixed-recyclable carts in addition to refuse. ROH Sec. 42-1.4 governs set-out timing, cart orientation, and preparation of bundled materials. In manual collection areas, tree branches cannot exceed 9 inches in diameter, green waste must be cut to 3 feet or less, and bundles are limited to 50 pounds. Dense apartment and condominium properties in Waikiki, Ala Moana, Kakaako, and downtown typically use private haulers and on-site dumpsters instead of city curbside service, and must follow Chapter 42 as applied to their service type.
Oversized branches, overweight bundles, early set-out, or noncompliant cart placement can result in warnings, refusal of collection, and civil fines.
