MEDIA RELEASE

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection events are 7:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m., as follows:

* Saturday, June 1, 2013: at the Hilo Recycling and Transfer Stations

These events are for self-hauled household-generated waste only. No business or farm wastes and no electronic waste will be accepted.

Some acceptable HHW are automotive fluids, used batteries, fluorescent lights and pesticides.

The next scheduled HHW Collection Events are Dec. 7, 2013 in Hilo and Dec. 14, 2013 in Kailua-Kona (Kealakehe).
