Where to dispose of hazardous material (paint, thinner, oil etc.)

I heard the C&C of Honolulu has random collection centers that they setup from time to time.

Is it posted in the newspaper annually or something?

I have a lot stuff I need to get rid of. It's not toxic waste, but various paints and oils that I don't need anymore.

I hope they still hold these "collection" dates.

Anyone know more?

Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem, the County told me to use oil boxes. Good thing I didn't have too much to dispose of.

Speaking of starter fuel, my FOB Filipino uncle used a cup of this weird blue fuel to light the bbq grill. To make a long story short, Theres a black spot on the front grass were we believe the grill used to be. Dam it....
