Moloka'i landfill will accept vehicles, appliances, scrap metal, tires, propane tanks and car batteries starting July 3 but only from residents and by appointment. Commercial recycling is prohibited.

The service ceased several months ago while Maui County obtained necessary permits from the state Department of Health that would allow the landfill to resume metals collection and recycling.

Moloka'i residents can call 336-0899 to schedule their dropoffs. Callers will be asked to leave their contact information and appointments will be scheduled in the order they are received. Appointments for metals recycling will be Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:00 -11:00 a.m. starting July 3.

Prior to recycling a vehicle, residents will be required to complete two forms, a "Statement of Fact for Junking of a Non-Repairable Vehicle" form and a "Residential Vehicle Acceptance" form. Both forms are available at the County of Maui's Division of Motor Vehicles Moloka'i office.
