Every route for patio furniture in Honolulu, checked in October 2026 against the city’s current rules and the drop-off sites named. The full Honolulu guide covers every other item.
Here is how each route works in Honolulu, starting with the city program and ending with paid pickup.
Honolulu bulky item appointment collection: patio furniture
FreePatio sets are bulky items. Tape glass tops.
Who qualifies: All residential properties on Oahu with city refuse service, including each unit in multi-unit buildings (a property manager can schedule for the whole building instead).
How to schedule: Book at opala.org (or 808-768-3200, option 0). Single-family homes and individual units get up to 5 bulky items per appointment, and a separate appliance appointment for up to 2 metal appliances. Buildings scheduling as a whole get 20 items and 8 appliances. Free.
Limits: 5 bulky items per appointment, 2 metal appliances per separate appliance appointment. Crews collect only the items listed on the appointment.
Set-out: Curbside no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before your appointment, in place by the morning of the appointment. Bulky items at the curb outside an appointment date are illegal and fined.
Donation pickup in Honolulu (usable patio furniture)
FreeO‘ahu donation programs accept items in good usable condition: clean upholstered furniture without significant tears or stains, working appliances less than 10 years old, mattresses in good condition (subject to program rules), kitchenware, lamps, and most household goods.
Items typically not accepted: damaged or stained furniture, mattresses with bedbug history or significant wear, appliances that don’t work, particle-board furniture in poor condition, cribs (federal safety regulations have changed), and exercise equipment that requires reassembly. Always call the program before scheduling.
Freemoval (free pickups through partner organizations)
FreeFreemoval funds free junk removal and cleanouts for households referred by trusted partner organizations, such as nonprofits, housing programs, and senior services. Families don’t apply directly. A partner submits the request and vouches for the need.
Status in Honolulu: Not yet available. Freemoval currently serves metro Atlanta and plans to expand nationwide.
How it works where it operates: One free pickup per household, covering patio furniture, furniture, appliances, and bulk household items within standard LoadUp marketplace service. Funded by LoadUp customer round-ups and direct contributions, spent at standard LoadUp rates.
If you run a nonprofit or housing program in Honolulu: you can start the conversation now through the For partners page.
Honolulu, Hawaii is unique in the U.S.: it’s the only Hawaii county providing free residential refuse collection, funded through property taxes rather than fees. The city operates a three-cart system (gray for weekly trash, blue for bi-weekly recyclables, green for bi-weekly green waste) and serves about 200,000 residential pickups per week across O‘ahu. Bulky item pickup has been appointment-only since July 1, 2020, scheduled online at honolulu.gov/opala or by calling (808) 768-3200. A new G.R.O.W. food waste program begins April 1, 2026 for selected areas. This guide covers every disposal option for City and County of Honolulu residents.
The Honolulu rule for patio furniture: Patio sets are bulky items. Tape glass tops.
Program basics: 5 bulky items per appointment, 2 metal appliances per separate appliance appointment. Crews collect only the items listed on the appointment. Curbside no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before your appointment, in place by the morning of the appointment. Bulky items at the curb outside an appointment date are illegal and fined.
What the city will not take: Household hazardous waste, tires (banned from disposal; return them to a dealer), construction debris, and auto parts. Electronics go free to city convenience centers.

Why patio furniture are different from ordinary bulk. Patio sets accumulate damage that donation programs will not accept: rust on steel, fading and brittleness on plastic, unraveling resin wicker, and mildew on cushions. Intact aluminum and teak sets in good condition donate easily; everything else goes to scrap or bulk.
Three mistakes that get patio furniture left at the curb:
Paid options are for a full set with nowhere to stage it, a condo with no bulk service, or heavy cast pieces nobody will carry.
Self-haul to a transfer station
$10 to $30Plastic and resin pieces stack into a pickup or trailer. Transfer stations charge by load. Take the metal to a scrap yard separately where it is free or pays.
Break resin wicker frames down to reduce the volume charge.
LoadUp paid patio furniture pickup
$80+For Honolulu households needing same-week or in-home pickup, items the city won’t accept, or service before the next available bulky appointment, LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in the Honolulu area for upfront-priced pickup.
What’s included: Loading, hauling, and licensed disposal of your patio furniture. No prep needed beyond pointing out what goes.
Pricing: Starts around $80 for a single item; full-truck pickups range from $300 to $600 depending on volume.
If you can pay for a pickup, your booking helps fund free pickups for someone else. Every paid LoadUp customer can opt in to round up at checkout, and 100% of round-ups go directly to Freemoval’s subsidized jobs.

Does Honolulu pick up patio furniture for free?
Yes, with a bulky appointment.
Where can I donate patio furniture in Honolulu?
O‘ahu donation programs accept items in good usable condition: clean upholstered furniture without significant tears or stains, working appliances less than 10 years old, mattresses in good condition (subject to program rules), kitchenware, lamps, and most household goods.
How much does paid patio furniture removal cost in Honolulu?
Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single patio furniture pickup in Honolulu starts around $80 to $100 with upfront pricing, and full-truck loads run $300 to $600 depending on volume. For Honolulu households needing same-week or in-home pickup, items the city won’t accept, or service before the next available bulky appointment, LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in the Honolulu area for upfront-priced pickup.
Can patio furniture go out with bulk trash?
Yes in nearly every city with a bulk program. Remove glass tabletops and protect them, break down umbrellas, and stack chairs. Metal pieces can go to scrap instead.
Is aluminum patio furniture worth anything as scrap?
Yes. Aluminum pays several times the per-pound rate of steel, and a full aluminum set weighs 60 to 120 pounds. Many people get $20 to $60 at a yard, or simply give it to a scrapper who picks it up free.
What do I do with a glass patio tabletop?
Remove it from the frame. For bulk pickup, tape the surface in a grid, mark it 'glass,' and lean it securely, or box it. Intact tempered glass tops are also easy to give away because replacements cost $100 or more.
Can I donate weathered patio furniture?
Donation programs want pieces without rust, brittleness, or mildew. Weathered teak and cast aluminum are accepted and resold; faded plastic and frayed resin wicker usually are not. Free listings are more forgiving.
