Building responsibly in Hawaii — and across the Pacific — means caring for the land, and that starts with using the right erosion control product. Reliant Trucking manufactures compost filter socks (also known as erosion control silt socks, CFS, or bio socks) right here in Hilo using heavy-duty, high-flow Carriff Engineered Fabrics — a superior alternative to other locally available options. We ship palletized product statewide and throughout the Pacific. We also provide mobile green waste grinding on Hawaii Island. As the manufacturer, we control every part of the process — output volume, lead times, pricing, and delivery — so your project gets a better product on your schedule.

Compost Filter Socks — Hawaiʻi Manufactured

Most Hawaii suppliers are distributors. Reliant Trucking is the manufacturer. When you call us, you’re talking directly to the people who make the product. Here is what that means for your project:

  • We schedule production around your project timeline, not a distributor’s inventory

  • Share your forecast and we build it into our production schedule — no scrambling for product mid-project.

  • No distributor markup. You pay manufacturer pricing.

  • All installation and maintenance complies with applicable HDOT Best Management Practice (BMP) standards.

  • Purchases count toward your DBE participation goals on state and federal contracts.

  • Free delivery from our Hilo yard to your job site on Hawaii Island. Delivery is included in pricing on Oahu. Outer-island and Pacific orders ship dock-to-dock — we coordinate the freight so you don’t have to.

Green Waste Grinding & Site Clean-Up - Hawaii Island (Big Island)

Mobile green waste grinding helps landowners and contractors on Hawaii Island clean-up sites and reduce bulky debris. Using our midsized, trailer-mounted horizontal grinder, we can process:

  • Cut-down timber and overgrowth

  • Tangles of branches and vegetation

  • Large tree trunks and logs

  • Pre-chipped or ground wood

More versatile than traditional chippers, our equipment handles a wide range of green waste materials — helping downsize bulky organics for easier reuse, recycling, or removal.

Need it hauled away? As a licensed trucking company on Hawaii Island, we can also provide optional hauling services to remove or repurpose the processed material based on your needs.
