✈️ Visitor Compost Drop-Off: Be a Hero (Not a Tourist Zero) ✈️
 
Kauaʻi’s landfill is fuller than the Costco parking lot on a Saturday—and we’re fresh out of backup plans.

But you? You’re part of the solution.
Every mango pit, coffee ground, or poke leftovers you drop off = VIP treatment for the ‘āina.
 
How It Works (The "Don’t-Relapse-While-on-Vacation" Program):
 
✅ CAN: All food scraps—fresh, funky, or fossilized (yes, even meat & bones!).
❌ NO CAN: Plastic (👋no produce stickers), sketchy/questionable paper (glossy/waxy = nope), tea bags (surprise! many are plastic), or garbage items (gloves? rubber bands? 🤨).
 
Drop-Off Spots (exact address shared in your confirmation email):
📍 North Shore: Kilauea/Kilauea Rd.
📍 Central: Lihue/Rice St.
 
BYOC (Bring Your Own Container) Pro Tips:
We don’t provide buckets, but we do make it easy:
 
1️⃣ COLLECT SCRAPS LIKE A PRO:
Use doubled-up brown paper bags (freezer storage = zero stink, zero guilt).
Or repurpose takeout containers, cereal boxes, etc.
2️⃣ TRANSPORT WITHOUT THE TRAUMA:
Toss your stash in a cooler, tote, or cardboard box (keep that rental car smelling like paradise).
3️⃣ DROP-OFF LIKE A BOSS:
At our sites, dump your scraps DIRECTLY into our buckets (yes, we provide those—just for final collection!).
Seal the lid like your protecting the last malasada! 🍩
 
Why Bother?
You came for the waterfalls, not the waste.
Composting = less trash in our landfill, more love for the land.
Plus, future pineapples will thank you. 🌱
