Set-out rules
Cart and set-out rules in Honolulu.
Refuse has to be at the curb by 6 a.m. on collection days and cannot go out before 6 p.m. the previous evening.
Set the cart directly at the curb with the handle away from the street, leaving at least five feet of clearance from fences, lampposts, fire hydrants, mailboxes, parked cars and other obstructions.
Do not overload the cart — the lid should be closed — and containers may not be left at the curb on non-collection days.
Streets too narrow for the automated trucks get manual collection instead, with the householder responsible for providing containers no larger than 35 gallons.
