Anything that goes into our storm drain system goes directly into the ocean untreated, negatively affecting the water quality and marine life. Join The State of Hawaii Department of Transportation, Highways, Oahu District’s (HDOT Highways) Storm Water Management Program in working towards a #TrashFreeHawaii by doing your part to prevent storm water pollution. We all have a responsibility to protect our water and even the smallest actions can lead to big change.

The State of Hawaii Department of Transportation, Highways, Oahu District developed and submitted a Trash Reduction Plan in October 2016, aimed to reduce trash discharged from the MS4, or storm water network, and the associated impacts on receiving State waterbodies.

We all can do our part to keep our home a trash free. There are many ways to contribute whether you are an individual, family or business. Click on the links below to find information and tips on how you can reduce trash.
