Hanapepe Transfer Station

Small transfer station in Hanapepe that people from the west side use when they don’t want to drive all the way to a landfill. It’s the kind of place locals swing by with household loads or after yard work. Expect a practical, no-frills setup rather than anything fancy.

There’s usually an entrance booth and a scale where loads are weighed, so plan for a quick stop to check in and then another stop on the way out. Vehicles pull up to drop off and staff will direct where to unload before the material goes into a compactor or bin for trucking off-island or to a distant landfill. The yard is open and industrial-looking - piles, bins, and heavy equipment, with gravel or paved drives and clear traffic flow. Weekends and neighborhood cleanup times tend to be busiest, so lines can form.
