Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station Landfill

Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station Landfill is the big burial site on MCBH Kaneohe Bay near Kailua where larger loads get dumped and covered. It’s a working landfill - lots of trucks, dirt roads and heavy equipment - used for the kinds of loads that need to be buried. Landfills like this usually charge by weight at a scale and commonly accept commercial loads, though local rules and fees can vary.

Pull up past an entrance booth and follow the wide access roads; there’s typically a scale so expect to stop and be weighed. The site is open and utilitarian: berms, tipping faces, bulldozers or compactors moving material, and piles of previously buried stuff - not paved like a recycling center. Vehicles line up behind larger trucks on busy days, and offloading is often just backing up to a tipping area. Tipping fees at this kind of facility are normally weight-based, with a minimum charge for small residential loads.
