This <br />Vehicle Disposal Assistance Program is to help registered vehicle owners dispose of <br />vehicles legally and properly, in an effort to reduce the number of derelict and <br />abandoned vehicles on public roadways. <br /> <br />A maximum of one vehicle per registered owner may be disposed of at no charge <br />during this program’s time period of August 1 to October 31, 2018. Please note that <br />each owner is responsible for the towing and removal costs from the vehicle’s location <br />to the designated scrap metal recycler. The County will pay only the disposal costs <br />directly to the County’s existing scrap metal contractors. <br /> <br />This program may be extended if allocated funds are available. <br /> <br />Applications for this program will be accepted from August 1–31, 2018. Registered <br />vehicle owners are encouraged to submit their applications early, due to a limited <br />number of disposal appointments. <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 Program at (808) 961-8552 or <br />DEMAV@hawaiicounty.gov. <br /> <br />Thank you for helping us keep our island home a beautiful and litter-free paradise. <br />County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
