Waipahu Refuse Convenience Center

Went to throw away metal and the attendant Dulfo (or so he say) told me I was not allow to dump metal here and called me stupid. Really!!!

It is what it is… a dump. It’s very convenient for larger items or if you happen to forget to put your trash bin out. They’ll also recycle your green waste as well. The attendant can be rude from time to time, but I chalk it up to the fact that he works at a dump. Just pay attention and listen to him and it’ll be fine. On rare occasion the dumpsters will fill up and they’ll close early, but that’s very rare. Normally trucks pick up and replace the dumpsters throughout the day.

Need to throw away big bulky items or unwanted things? This is the definitely the place to go. Although it is out of the way for us townees, we happen to be in the area helping a friend move out of their place. We needed to get rid of a couch since Goodwill was not willing to accept it because there was a hole which was super minor. So we needed to find a trash dump somewhere and we stumbled upon this place on Unilocal and thought we would give it a try.
I’ve never heard of this place before but we went ahead and found the place. It was on a Sunday afternoon and to our surprise there was no one there as stated from other Unilocalers that it may be busy on weekends. I guess we got there at good timing as we were able to dump the unwanted couch in less than 5 minutes. There’s 4 dump trash containers and the attendant will tell you which one to dump it in. I’ll be sure to keep this place in mind the next time I do a massive spring cleaning. You can literally dump almost anything here.

Great dump site. We got in and out with no issues. If u arrive early it’s best. There is no line u can handle business and enjoy the rest of ur day. For those who lk to procrastinate u will be in fur a shock. Tht line can shock u by noon. Overall it’s good for dumping old uses items.

We went over there today and there was a man raking. We waited at the stopping point as the sign instructed. He turned, looked at us and returned to raking. My husband pulled forward as no one else was there. The man yelled at my husband that we were supposed to wait for him to allow us in. Then he pointed us up the ramp, we pulled up the ramp and off loaded our material. At that time he directed another van up the opposite way into our path, she came around the corner and nearly collided with us. We had to back down the ramp as the idiot groundskeeper stood back and watched the drama that he intentionally caused to amuse himself. That was a prime example of power without authority. I am only giving them 1 star because I have to.

Came here today to dump some rubbish. Before heading here, I read that you are only allowed two loads per household. Perfectly fine with me. I jam packed the bed of the truck with heaps of rubbish so I could fit everything into two trips. First trip was fast and easy. Pulled up, greeted by the rude guy at the front and was assigned a dumpster to throw the trash. Dumped it and was on my way to pick up load #2. By the time I came back, there was a line of cars to get into the dump. Waited in line and when it was our turn to pull in, we once again were greeted by the rude guy at the front. We knew it was our second time for the day but The guy had to make it known multiple times that we were done for the day after this trip. He assigned us the same dumpster as the truck in front of us. The dumpster was FULL to the top with trash yet he still sent us there. We were forced to wait 10 minutes to dump our trash cause we were sharing the space with the guy in front of us. Looked around and saw 4 vacant dumpsters yet the guy sent us to the the full one. This place is a dump. Literally.

Yo this place is off the chain. Hella fools be wantin to dump they trash here, mayne. You can tell by the line to get in that this is the place to be.

Spring Cleaning has been a pain with many things to dispose of. This is a good place to get rid of your household trash. If you use a trash pick up local company it runs from about 300 – 400 for one nice size truck to pick up and dump your trash for you (company’s if I’m not mistaken are charged a disposal fee for businesses) I did both due to a kitchen renovation.

It feels so uplifting to throw away unwanted things. And it even feels better when you get to throw it in the bins yourself. Just be careful to not fall in because it’s not very safe. My bf and I did a mass clean up at my mom’s house and we had a ton of things to throw away. These things included chairs, a bathtub, large piles of wood, broken tiles, hardened cement, etc.
I’ve only visited this place twice and on our first visit, there was a long line. We waited about half an hour to dump our things. From what I remember, there were only four bins; one for tires, one for branches, and two for miscellaneous things. We decided to come first thing in the morning the second time around. I highly recommend that. It’is free to get in and they open daily from 7am to 5pm

Place is a advertised. When you arrive there might be a line of cars to the right of the road. Be prepared to wait as this center is small but the line movies somewhat quickly.

Hey Ashley O… Im with you on this dump!
DO NOT… I repeat DO NOT go on the weekends. If you go on the weekends, you’ll probably be in a line of at least 15 trucks! Its not supposed to be for commercial companies dumping, but we all know they do!
Its open daily but closes at 6pm. The limit is 2 loads per household. They will accept all your garbage, but obviously they wont take «common sense» items such as dead animals, poisons, rocks, chemicals, flammables, etc.
I would give them more stars for being so convenient but some trucks go overboard and load up their trucks with so much stuff that it takes more than 10 minutes to unload. That is ridiculous to me cause they hold up the line like crazy!

What, no reviews for the Waipahu Dump?! Whaaat?! I can’t believe it. Seems like such a popular place, especially on the weekends. Am I the only Unilocaler who comes here to dump rubbish?! Can’t be… can it?
We come here every few months or so when we’re doing some serious, get down ‘n dirty cleaning. It’s free and sure, there are some restrictions — like don’t be bringing your paint here, okay? Don’t want that going into our landfills and such. You can come up to 2x to dump your stuff in the same day. They stay open until about 6pm on the weekends, but if the trash bins fill up early, they’ll close.
There’s always a line of about 5 – 6 cars, sometimes more. Expect a wait, no matter what. Hopefully your car’s air conditioning is working well — you’re gonna want to keep your windows rolled up while you’re waiting because the smell ain’t so pleasant.
Not much else to say about the dump except that it’s super convenient and I’m glad we have one nearby. Thanks, City & County.
