Glenwood Recycling & Transfer Station

Is the Glenwood Transfer Station open?

It is temporarily closed for construction from August 8, 2026 through December 7, 2026. Confirm it has reopened with the County of Hawaii Solid Waste Division before visiting.

Can I recycle at the Glenwood station?

No. Glenwood currently has no drop-off recycling services and accepts household rubbish only. For recycling and HI-5 redemption you will need a different Hawaii County facility.

How much rubbish can I bring at one time?

Residential drop-off is limited to one load per day of up to 3 cubic yards, and individual items cannot exceed 7 feet in any dimension. Larger amounts must go to the East Hawaii Reload Facility or West Hawaii Sanitary Landfill, where a tip fee of $128 per ton applies.

Is there a charge to drop off household rubbish?

No. There is no fee for residential household rubbish disposal within the size limits at the transfer station. Tip fees only apply at the landfill or reload facility for excess loads.
