City and County of Honolulu bulky item collection (appointment)
O'ahu residents with a scheduled appointment: one appointment per address per month, except Waikiki addresses, which may schedule weekly. Single-family homes and each unit of a multi-unit building may book up to five bulky items plus two metal appliances on a separate appliance appointment; AOAOs may instead book twenty items and eight appliances if management consolidates and stores items onsite.
Conditions and source
The city's disposal guide routes a mattress to bulky item collection, a city drop-off site, or donation. Schedule through the city's opala site or by calling 768-3200 option '0'. Size limit is 6 feet and 60 pounds for long items and bundles. Put items out no earlier than 6:00 p.m. the evening before and curbside by 6:00 a.m. on the appointment day; only items listed in the appointment are collected. Placing bulky items at the curb outside appointment dates is illegal and may lead to civil fines, and residents must keep frontages clear between appointments.
Not confirmed: No price or explicit free-of-charge statement appears on any of the city's bulky item pages.
Not confirmed: The bulky item pages publish no accepted-items list; mattresses are named only on the separate how-to-dispose guide.

- Check you qualify. Many sites serve only residents of their own city or county.
