Junk Vehicle Program

Produced by Kapolei High School Digital Media and Graphic Arts students

Vehicles left on the side of the road aren’t just unsightly, unhealthy and unnecessary. They take up parking spaces, hurt the environment and are illegal.

If your old, unused vehicle is rusting away in your driveway or yard — tow it, don’t stow it! Use the city’s junk vehicle program. It’s easy and free! Just follow a few simple steps and the city will tow away the vehicle for free. Do your part to help keep Oahu clean.

Please note it will not relieve you of any financial responsibility such as car loans or criminal charges or citations.

Here’s how it works: Download the city’s junking form here and fill it out. Remove the vehicle license plates. Make an appointment (AlohaQ.org) and take the form, plates, registration, and title papers to any Satellite City Halls where your car will be processed for junking. Follow the directions provided to you at that time and the vehicle will be picked up and processed for disposal at no cost to the owner.

Residents can report a suspected abandoned vehicle via the online form here, or by calling the abandoned vehicle report number at (808) 768-2530.

For the junked vehicle to be towed, it must be:

Free of debris and rubbish;

Parked on property owned by the applicant or legally parked on a public street or property;

Easily accessible for a tow truck; and

Have at least two inflated tires on the end which is accessible to the tow truck.

You can also donate your vehicle to a charitable organization.
