Kailua residents participate in the islandwide curbside recycling program established by the Director, which requires collection of at least two recyclable material streams.
ROH Sec. 42-1.12 authorizes the Director of Environmental Services to establish an islandwide curbside recycling program implemented in phases across Oahu. The program must collect at least two recyclable materials and Kailua is served by this rotating schedule. Related provisions include Sec. 42-1.11 (mandatory recycling for city government), Sec. 42-3.5 (food waste recycling), and Sec. 42-3.2 (private dwellings). No apartment-specific mandatory recycling threshold is currently in force. Kailua's environmentally active community has high participation in the blue and green cart program.
Non-participation is rarely fined for single-family homes, but contamination and improper set-out may result in collection refusal.
