The County-sponsored E-Waste Recycling Program (as currently structured) will end on April 30, 2010, and the Department of Environmental Management currently intends on implementing an E-Waste Recycling Collection Event in East and West Hawai‘i with specific dates to be announced in our next fiscal year subject to available funding.  Read Media Release below.

On January 1, 2010, the state Department of Health implemented the new Hawai‘i Electronic Device Recycling Program (HEDRP). The State Program requires that manufacturers of Covered Electronic Devices (CEDs) establish take-back recycling programs for registered CEDs, including computers and portable computers, printers, monitors and televisions.  For more information on this State Program click here.

The County advises all residents, businesses, government agencies and non-profits to manage their electronic waste responsibly by using a reputable e-waste recycling company. Disposing e-waste illegally can cause health and safety hazards. Also, abandonment of e-waste at a collection site during non-operating hours is considered illegal dumping.  For other e-waste recycling options please check our E-Waste Recycling webpage.
