Motor oil recycling
When it comes to motor oil, we can take care of that.
Just drop it off to our Ferguson Street recycling centre.
Heads up! From 1 July, we’re updating some of our fees and charges for rubbish and recycling services. Here’s what’s new:
Rubbish bags:
- 60L bags: $3.80 each, $19 for a 5-pack
- 40L bags: $2.80 each, $14 for a 5-pack
Compost:
Awapuni green waste:
- Car: $7
- Trailer: $20
- Van or ute: $20
- Van or ute plus trailer: $40
Events recycling:
- Option B (Self-servicing): $75
- Option C (Council-serviced): $290
All prices include GST.
These new rates have been carefully reviewed and approved by the Council to ensure we can continue providing quality services.
This oil can be recovered and either recycled or re-refined.
Used motor oil is hazardous. It contains plenty of other contaminants – lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic, dioxins, benzene. Inappropriate disposal has the potential to harm fish, plants and humans.
You need to drop your oil off in leak-proof containers, while our centre is staffed. Never leave it.
Businesses should already have their own commercial oil recycling systems in place with private providers.
