This Vehicle Disposal Assistance Program <br />will assist registered vehicle owners with properly and legally disposing of unwanted <br />vehicles, thereby reducing the number of derelict and abandoned vehicles discarded on <br />our public roadways. <br /> <br />A maximum of two “junked” vehicles per registered owner, per calendar year, may be <br />disposed of at no charge. The County will pay the disposal fee directly to the County’s <br />vehicle disposal contractor. However, the registered owner is responsible for <br />transporting the vehicle from its current location to the County’s contracted vehicle <br />disposal facility, and for all costs associated with transport of the vehicle. <br /> <br />Applications for the program will be accepted starting November 1, 2019. Registered <br />vehicle owners are encouraged to submit their applications early, as there are limited <br />disposal appointments available each day. <br /> <br />Please visit our website at http://www.hawaiizerowaste.org/recycle/automotive/ for the <br />application, guidelines, and instructions. If you have any questions, please contact the <br />Derelict and Abandoned Vehicle Section at (808) 961‐8552 during regular office hours <br />(7:45 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.) or VDAP@hawaiicounty.gov. <br /> <br />Thank you for helping us keep our island home a beautiful and litter‐free paradise. <br /> <br />County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
