COUNTY OFFERS TREE-CYCLING OPPORTUNITY; RECYCLES HOLIDAY TREES

Residential customers are encouraged to tree-cycle their holiday trees and kadomatsu decorations at the following Recycling & Transfer Stations: Kealakehe (Kailua-Kona), Ke‘ei, Kea‘au, Pāhoa, Volcano, and Waimea from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on regular greenwaste collection days, at the East Hawai‘i Organics Facility (EHOF) in Hilo from 7:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. (closed from 12:00 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. daily), and at the West Hawai‘i Organics Facility (WHOF) in Pu‘uanahulu Mondays through Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. (closed from 12:00 p.m. to 12:30 p.m.).

Residential customers with only holiday trees for tree-cycling may proceed directly to the East Hawai‘i Organics Facility (EHOF) and tree-cycling area—there is no need to go to the County scale house, as typically required. Residential loads with both greenwaste and holiday trees must go to the County scale house to be weighed. All commercial haulers or holiday tree collectors must proceed to the County scale house before recycling.

This service will be available to the public from December 28, 2022, through January 15, 2023, except for the annual closure of Solid Waste facilities on January 1. For more information, please visit: Hawaiizerowaste.org or call the Solid Waste Division at 808-961-8270
