FOR BUSINESSES:

Businesses need to have an account with the City and County of Honolulu in order to dispose at Transfer Stations, Waimanalo Gulch Sanitary Landfill or H-POWER.  View the Rules and Guidelines for Businesses page prior to disposing of waste at the specific disposal sites. Please contact the Refuse Business Accounts at 768-3410 to inquire about obtaining a city disposal account.  Businesses who do not have an account with the city are required to work with private waste haulers.

Commercial users delivering combustible waste may use the city’s transfer stations in Kailua, Haleiwa and Honolulu. Disposal rates are higher than disposing at H-POWER. Contact the transfer for the type of waste accepted. Kawailoa Transfer Station is limited in space; commercial users should call Kawailoa Transfer Station to ensure their type of vehicle can unload prior to delivery.

Commercial users delivering non-combustible waste e.g. wastewater grit/bar screenings, auto shredder fluff, industrial waste/sludge, sandblast grit, autoclaved medical waste and dead animals may use WGSL. WGSL is owned by the city and operated under contract with Waste Management of Hawaii, Inc. Loads requiring special handling or to inquire about the types of waste accepted, please call Waste Management of Hawaii, Inc. at 668-2985 or visit their website at www.wm.com.
