HCC §24-162
How to secure a load of litter on your vehicle
Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗If you drive a vehicle carrying litter on a highway, you must keep the load fully covered or sealed so nothing can fall out, leak, or escape. The cover must be tied down tightly so it stays on the vehicle. This rule applies to any vehicle moving litter on a road.

The ordinance, as written (Hawaiʻi County) — Load to be properly secured
A copy, taken August 21, 2026. The version published by Hawaiʻi County is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
(a) No vehicle transporting a load of litter shall be driven or moved on any highway unless the load is adequately and securely contained so as to prevent the contents of the load from dropping, sifting, leaking or otherwise escaping from the vehicle. (b) For the purposes of this section, a load is adequately and securely contained only if it is put into a sealed bag, box or other container, or if it is otherwise completely enclosed by a tarpaulin or like covering. The container or covering shall be sufficient to prevent the contents of the load from dropping, sifting, leaking, or otherwise escaping from the vehicle transporting it. The container or covering shall be securely fastened so as to prevent it from becoming loose, detached or otherwise escaping from the vehicle.
