Recycling in Honolulu: A Local Guide
Honolulu combines a city-run curbside system with Hawaii's HI-5 bottle-and-can deposit program, giving residents 20 listed recycling centers and redemption sites across urban O'ahu. Household recycling is handled by the City and County of Honolulu's Department of Environmental Services through its automated cart collection, with a blue cart for mixed recyclables picked up every other week; non-recycled refuse is processed at the H-POWER waste-to-energy plant. Schedules and cart rules are posted on the city's Opala program site, and you can browse more of the islands on our Hawaii recycling hub.
Honolulu's listed centers reflect O'ahu's mix of deposit redemption, metal recovery and electronics handling. HI-5 redemption sites such as Reynolds Recycling Hawaii Kai Redemption Center and Rrr Recycling Center pay the deposit back on eligible bottles and cans. Metal is processed at yards including Ace Metal Recycling Inc and Hawaii Metal Recovery Corporation, while electronics go to E-Opala - Computer Recycling Center. Accepted items, payouts and hours vary, so call ahead before you load up.
If you live elsewhere on O'ahu or another island, each area has its own listings: Kapolei (15 centers), Waipahu, Kailua Kona, Hilo and Keaau. You can also browse every community on the Hawaii state hub to find the closest drop-off or redemption center for your material.
