Landfill
Naiwa Landfill
Naiwa Landfill, Maunaloa Highway, Kaunakakai, 96748, Hawaiii
Naiwa Landfill in Kualapuu handles the island’s non-recyclable trash and gets used by residents, landscapers and small contractors hauling pickup- or dump-truck loads. It’s a working, no-frills dump rather than a big mainland-style facility.
The scale is modest - open cells, gravel drives and compacted dirt rather than long paved ramps. Many landfills here run a tipping-fee structure that’s weight- or per-load-based, so there’s usually a scale and a weigh-in sequence to factor into the trip. Pull up slowly, follow the traffic flow to the active drop area, and be prepared for dusty, exposed conditions. Weekends and community cleanup times often create lines, so expect some wait time during those periods.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home-wind and the bumpy road to the tip will scatter light trash.
- Sort bulky items at the curb or in the truck bed beforehand so unloading goes quicker once at the drop area.
- Bring gloves, sturdy shoes and a tarp or straps for covering the load; dust and sun are common while waiting in line.
