I’m giving it 5 stars because without this place where would I put all of my trash? Haha! The«rubbish dump» as we like to call it, is open 7 days a week from 6:30 am to 5 pm. The only days they’re closed are Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. It’s clean and very orderly. There are areas to dispose large items like refrigerators and such. Also there’s an area to recycle newspapers, cardboard, aluminum cans and water bottles. At times there are workers directing people where to go because it does get busy. What else can I say about the Hilo Rubbish Dump? The Hilo Rubbish Dump is scented with tropical flavors like papayas, pineapples, mangoes and everything that’ll remind you of paradise. The breath-taking back drop behind the trash site are of luscious greenery with Albizia trees. Haha! Leave all your crap here! With the services this place has to offer, I can guarantee you’ll keep coming back!
