Honolulu Disposal Service is a local disposal site in Kalihi used by residents and small contractors hauling household junk, yard debris, and construction scraps. People drop by when they need to get rid of a load that won’t fit in regular curbside pickups. The location on Mikole Street is easy to find if driving through the industrial area.
Expect an entrance booth and a vehicle scale; most folks pull up to the booth first and then drive across the scale so the load can be weighed. The site looks like a typical municipal disposal yard - piles of material, roll-up doors on some buildings, and open tipping areas. Unloading is done from trucks and trailers directly into the appropriate piles, so back-in space and a clear unload plan help. Weekends and seasonal cleanups can get busy, so there may be a line to get through the gate.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp or tie-downs so debris doesn’t fly out while driving through town.
- Bring something to block the sun for short waits in line - parking areas have little shade and island sun can be intense.
- Arrive with a clear idea of how the truck or trailer will back and unload; tighter rigs take longer and can hold up the line.
