History

In 1967, Hideo Kaneshiro founded Honolulu Disposal Service with one truck and two employees. Today, Hideo’s son, Clyde Kaneshiro is leading the company into the 21st Century with hundreds of employees and offering a full retinue of trucks and waste services. Honolulu Disposal hauls or processes the majority of the island of Oahu’s waste. On an island of 1.4 million people and host to over 8 million tourists annually, that is saying a lot. Front-end loaders, open-tops, compactors, container delivery, recycling pickup or material processing, Honolulu Disposal does it all. Most importantly, we do it efficiently, cost effectively and with the utmost care and commitment to protecting Oahu’s spectacular yet visitor friendly environment.

Clyde Kaneshiro has quietly built Honolulu Disposal over the past 35 years into the largest solid waste and recycling company in Hawaii. He has expanded the company into Hawaii’s leader for food waste, aluminum, cardboard, paper, glass, plastic, cooking oil and great recycling.

“Our companies have evolved over the years. So many things that used to go into a landfill are now being diverted to useful products – turning trash into electricity, recycling bottles and cans, creating soil amendments from green waste, turning cooking oil into biodiesel for our fleet.” –Clyde Kaneshiro

OPEN TOP SERVICE

Open top service is provided to a temporarily placed trash dumpster (or roll-off bin) as well as certain specialized compactors. The bins are called “roll-off” because the bin itself is typically configured with small back wheels, and the truck uses a hoist and a tipping bed to roll the bin on and off the truck.

The service provides the rental of the bin, the delivery of the bin to the site where it is needed, the pick-up service when the bin is full (or the service time is complete) and disposal of the collected waste at a sanitary landfill. Open top containers are typically used for collecting construction and demolishing debris, remodeling debris and other bulk waste. Here’s what to expect from Honolulu Disposal Service:

• Outstanding service in a safe, efficient and cost-effective manner by experienced and trained drivers and support staff.
• Island-wide service of pre-scheduled or on-call hauling of open-top containers.
• Regular service is available seven days a week.
• On-call pickup with 24-hour notice.
• Same day delivery of containers for early call-ins.
