The County will pay only the disposal costs <br />directly to the County’s existing scrap metal contractors. <br /> <br />Applications for this program will be accepted from August 1, 2018, through <br />September 30, 2018. Registered vehicle owners are encouraged to submit their <br />applications early, before the limited number of disposal appointments is filled. <br /> <br />Please visit our website at http://www.hawaiizerowaste.org/recycle/automotive/ for the <br />application, guidelines, and instructions. <br /> <br />For further information, please contact the Derelict and Abandoned Vehicle Division at <br />(808) 961‐8552 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 />
