Hazardous Waste Disposal Drop-Off Program on O‘ahu

EnviroServices & Training Center (ETC) has over 30 years of experience and has managed thousands of tons of VSQG (Very Small Quantity Generator) waste from small businesses.

How to Participate

To participate in the program, a business must qualify as a Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG) as defined by Hawaii Administrative Rules §11-261. A VSQG:

  1. Generate no more than 220 pounds of hazardous waste per month; and store no more than 2,200 pounds of hazardous waste on-site at any time; and

  2. Generate no more than 2.2 pounds of acute hazardous waste per month; and never store more than this amount on-site at any time.

Note that businesses who do not meet the above qualifications (or even qualifying businesses that do not want to drop off their waste) can contact ETC to have their waste picked up, but are not eligible for this drop-off program and pricing.

Hazardous wastes are those that are toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. Common examples include:

  • Oil-based paint and related materials such as varnishes, adhesives, solvents, inks and coatings

  • Degreasing and chlorinated solvents

  • Corrosives such as acids and bases

  • Poisonous chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and fertilizers

  • Car and truck products, such as motor oil, brake fluids, lubricants, and antifreeze
