Who we are
At Malama Trash Services, we’re on a mission to clean up Hilo—one bin at a time. Locally owned and operated, we started with a simple idea: make trash pickup easier, more reliable, and better suited to the needs of our community. We offer weekly curbside collection for residential customers, and we’re growing fast, expanding into 2-cubic-yard dumpster service for apartment complexes and local businesses.
We’re not a one-size-fits-all operation. We’re here to provide straightforward trash removal—no green waste, no recycling, no confusion. Just dependable service you can count on, from people who actually live here and care about this island.
We’re building something big for Hilo, and we’d love to have you with us.
Our Goals
We’re not here just to haul trash — we’re here to build something that lasts. Here’s where we’re heading:
🚛 Expand Across East & West Hawaiʻi
We’re starting in Hilo, but our vision is island-wide. From Puna to Kona, we want to bring simple, honest service to every corner of the Big Island.
🗑️ Offer Custom Mālama Trash Bins
As we continue to grow, we aim to offer our customers professional, custom-branded 96-gallon trash bins. These bins will not only represent our commitment to quality service but also strengthen our brand’s presence in every neighborhood we serve.
🏢 Serve Apartments & Small Businesses
Residential service is just the beginning. Soon, we’ll be offering 2-yard dumpsters and scheduled pickups for multi-unit housing and local businesses.
🛠️ Invest in Better Equipment
More efficient trucks, safer handling tools, and smarter scheduling tech — all to serve you better as we grow.
🤝 Give Back to the Community
We plan to host and sponsor local cleanups, events, and fundraisers — because caring for Hilo means more than just picking up trash.
