The Central Maui Landfill takes cash, credit and debit cards; a 2.35% processing fee is added to card payments. Commercial haulers and businesses hauling their own rubbish or green waste need a commercial account, with applications at the scale house and at county offices on Maui, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi and in Hāna. The county posts a holiday schedule each year.
Hawaiʻi law keeps lead-acid car batteries (HRS 342I-1) and whole motor vehicle tires (HRS 342I-22) out of trash and landfills: they go back to a retailer or to a permitted recycler. Electronics are handled through the state's manufacturer take-back program rather than a landfill ban, and large appliances are collected separately for recycling at county sites.
