ROH Sec. 42-1.12 authorizes Urban Honolulu's curbside recycling covering at least two streams, typically mixed paper and commingled containers, in single-family areas; condos and apartments rely on building programs.
Urban Honolulu participates in the islandwide curbside recycling program under ROH Sec. 42-1.12 in single-family neighborhoods like Manoa, Kaimuki, Kalihi, and Palolo where blue carts are provided for commingled containers and green carts serve green waste. The director of environmental services selects at least two recyclable streams and may phase service by area. Related sections include Sec. 42-1.11 mandatory recycling for city operations, Sec. 42-3.5 food-waste recycling, and Sec. 42-3.2 private-dwelling rules. High-rise residential buildings in Waikiki, Ala Moana, and Kakaako are served through private haulers and building-level recycling plans rather than curbside carts.
Contaminating carts with non-recyclables, missing required set-outs, or ignoring building recycling programs can lead to skipped collection, private-hauler penalties, and civil fines.
