More items to be added to allowable green bin composting on Oahu

Posted on November 6, 2023

The Honolulu City Council voted 8-0, with Council member Tyler Dos Santos-Tam absent, to approve Bill 47 on November 1, allowing “manufactured compostable material” to be added to city green waste bins to promote sustainability and reduce the waste stream into the city’s landfill.

Items to dispose with yard clippings could include bags, takeout containers, coffee pods, food packaging, cups, plates and serviceware that are manufactured with compostable materials, the measure states. The bill will take effect April 1, 2025.
