Rubbish and recycling

We can keep our city clean if we recycle and put rubbish where it belongs. Use the tools on this page to find out what goes where.

Is your usual collection day on Friday?

There is no collection on Good Friday, 29 March. We'll pick it up the next day instead, Saturday 30 March. Or, you can take your Council rubbish bags to the Enviro NZ transfer station on Matthews Ave free of charge.

Please put your bags, crates and bins out on the kerb by 7.30am.

Easter Monday collections will happen as usual.
