Hauling Safely
Whether you’re hauling trash, recyclables, hazardous waste, or other debris, the way you load your vehicle matters for safety and for the environment. Secure your load to ensure that items don’t fly away, block roads or storm drains, or contribute to the pollution of our local waterways and ocean. Keep our roads clean and safe, and load with aloha!
For tips on how to secure your load, check out the resources below:
Residential Hauling
Load with aloha by packing your items strategically, then covering and tying down the load to keep those items on your ride.
Commercial Hauling
Use high quality gear to fully cover secured loads, conduct pre-departure and en route load checks, and perform regular tailgate seal inspections to keep debris contained.
