We list 20 sites in Hawaii (all from official sources); 1 takes brush and branches. 14 of the 20 list a residency or eligibility rule on the source page, so bring ID or a utility bill. 9 do not have a confirmed map pin yet. Not every local program in Hawaii is listed yet.
By type: 20 yard waste drop-off, 1 brush & branches.
Call ahead. Hours, fees, residency rules and accepted materials change. Call or check the official source page before you go. Every listing links to its source.
