- Put your rubbish out on the kerb by 7:30am on collection day only;
- Maximum weight of 15 kg per bag;
- Use a Transfer Station if you miss collection day; and
- Rubbish and recycling that is loose or in containers will not be collected.
Simple Rules for Recycling Collection
There is a kerbside recycling collection carried out on the same day as your rubbish collection. Please only use the official GREEN BINS for recycling.
We accept the following materials:
- Aluminium and steel cans (washed and crushed)
- All household plastics from the kitchen, bathroom or toilet (washed and crushed)
- Green, brown and clear bottles and jars (NO blue bottles, window glass, drinking glasses or ceramics)
- Paper and cardboard – please fold down to A3 size and place beside your GREEN BIN in bundles or in grocery bags or boxes
Please note that window and broken glass will not be recycled. Please wrap these items securely so it does not cause injury to our collectors and place in your BLUE BAG.
If you need a replacement green bin, contact our Customer Services team on 07 868 0200.
There are 24/7 drop-off facilities for rubbish and recycling at Whangapoua, Opito Bay, Tairua, Pauanui and Matarangi.
