SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Guidelines
INTENT AND PURPOSE
This is to establish guidelines for reviewing Solid Waste Management Plans, for which special
conditions are placed on developments. The Solid Waste Management Plan will be used to: (1)
promote and implement recycling and recycling programs, (2) predict the waste generated by
the proposed development to anticipate the loading on County Solid Waste Management
Facilities, and (3) predict the additional vehicular traffic being generated because of waste and
recycling transfers. A State of Hawaii licensed engineer shall prepare a suitable Solid Waste
Management Plan for review by the Department of Environmental Management.
REPORT
The Solid Waste Management Plan will contain the following:
Description of the project and the potential waste it may be generating: i.e. analysis of
anticipated waste volume and composition. This includes waste generated during the
construction and operational or maintenance phases. Waste types shall include (but not be
limited to):
A. Organics (including food waste and green wastes);
B. Construction and Demolition materials;
C. Paper (including cardboard);
D. Metal (including ferrous and non-ferrous metals).
E. Plastic;
F. Special (including ash, sludge, treated medical waste, bulky items, tires);
G. Hazardous (including paint, vehicle fluids, oil, batteries); and
H. Glass.
2. Indicate onsite source separation by waste type; i.e. source separation bins for
glass, metal, plastic, cardboard, aluminum, etc. Provide ample and equal space for
rubbish and recycling.

facility or disposal site and associated transportation methods for the various
components of the development's waste management system, including the number of
vehicle movements and associated routes that will be used to transport the waste and
recycled materials.
4. The report will include identification of any impacts to County -operated waste
management facilities, and the appropriate mitigation measures that will be implemented
by the development to minimize these impacts.
5. Analysis will be based on the highest potential use or zoning of the development.
