East Maui residents can drop off scrap metal, appliances, propane tanks, tires and auto batteries for recycling on Friday, Sept. 20, and Saturday, Sept. 21, 2024, at the Hāna Recycling Center.

The Hāna metals collection event will be held from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the center across from Hāna Landfill on Waikoloa Road.

Hauling capacity out from Hāna is limited. Drop-offs will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Staff from Hammerhead Metals Recycling and Hāna Landfill will assist in unloading items from vehicles.

Items accepted for drop-off include white goods/large appliances (refrigerators, freezers, air conditioning units, water coolers, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers, water heaters), auto batteries, tires, propane tanks (with or without valves) and scrap metal. Electronics and E-waste will not be accepted at this event. Small machines must be fully drained of all liquids, and batteries must be separated from small machines.

Collection events serve as a resource for residential recycling. Commercial drop-offs will not be accepted.
