There will be a concurrent collection event for reusable latex (water-based) paints held nearby and operated by a different contractor.  Reusable latex paint is collected year-round at the Hilo Reuse Center at the Hilo Recycling & Transfer Station, please call 498-7916.  Bring your reusable latex paints or come and see what is available for pick-up by the public.  If your latex paint is junk/unusable solidify it and dispose with your regular rubbish.

The Hilo Reuse Center at the Hilo Recycling & Transfer Station will be closed for the entire day due to the Hilo Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event held in the same area.

Customers should pack their items in spill-proof containers and be careful when transporting them to the event.  When at the event please remain in your vehicle in line until authorized personnel come to unload your vehicle.  For your safety and the safety of those around you please do not walk your hazardous materials over to the authorized personnel in the restricted area, this precaution is to prevent accidents, prevent spillage and ensure fairness to those already waiting in line.  Mahalo for your kōkua.
