Recycling in Kaneohe: A Local Guide
Kaneohe, O'ahu's largest windward community, is served by two separate recycling drop-off locations, both operated by RRR Recycling Services Hawaii (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). The two sites are close in distance but differ meaningfully in operating hours, so picking the right one matters.
The RRR Recycling Windward location at 46-026 Alaloa St (behind Windward Mall, ZIP 96744) is the busier of the two sites, open Monday through Friday 9:15 AM–4:45 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM–3:30 PM — six days a week. It accepts HI-5 beverage containers (aluminum cans, glass, and qualifying plastic bottles) for the state's 5-cent deposit refund, plus cardboard, newspaper, clean bi-metal cans, non-deposit plastics labeled #1 or #2, and e-waste. A midday lunch break closes the site 12:30–1:00 PM on operating days, and Sundays are always closed.
The RRR Recycling Kahaluu location at 47-703 Kamehameha Hwy operates on a reduced schedule — Wednesday through Friday 9:15 AM–4:45 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM–3:30 PM — and is closed Sunday through Tuesday. It shares the same accepted-materials list as the Windward site: HI-5 containers, e-waste, cardboard, newspaper, clean bi-metal cans, and plastics #1 and #2. The lunch closure (12:30–1:00 PM) applies here as well. Both locations are reached by calling (808) 682-5600.
Neither Kaneohe RRR location accepts copper, tires, or appliances such as refrigerators. For curbside recycling, Kaneohe residents are served by the City and County of Honolulu's blue-bag or blue-bin recycling program. For materials beyond what RRR handles — such as household hazardous waste, large appliances, or motor oil — the City of Honolulu operates drop-off programs; check opala.org for current schedules and locations. Other windward O'ahu recycling resources can be found in nearby Kailua and Aiea.
