"Kokua" means "help" or "assistance" in Hawaiian and is written on trash cans in Hawaii to encourage community members and visitors to help keep public areas clean by using the trash receptacles provided. It does not mean TRASH. Kokua embodies the spirit of mutual cooperation and community responsibility, reflecting the deeper meaning of selfless assistance and care for the collective well-being of a community.
