Frequently Asked Questions

Can Oahu residents drop off recycling or trash at H-POWER in Kapolei?

No. H-POWER is a commercial waste-to-energy facility requiring a City and County of Honolulu business disposal account. Residents should use the City's public drop-off transfer stations — visit honolulu.gov for locations and hours.

What types of businesses can use H-POWER?

Businesses with a pre-established city disposal account and a registered vehicle issued a Solid Waste Disposal Card may use H-POWER. Haulers with manually-unloading vehicles can unload on weekdays between 2:00 PM and 6:30 PM.

Does H-POWER accept mattresses?

Yes, but whole loads of mattresses must be scheduled in advance by calling Reworld at (808) 682-0261. Mattresses are banned from the transfer stations and landfill, so H-POWER is the designated disposal point for commercial mattress loads.
