Delays to kerbside collections
- Unfortunately, we are again experiencing significant delays with kerbside collections due to the impacts of Covid-19.
- Glass collections will be put on hold from Monday 27 June for an estimated two weeks.
- Rubbish and co-mingled recycling are being prioritised.
Missed collections
- If your rubbish or co-mingled recycling has not been collected on your street on your normal collection day, please leave it out and it will be picked up the next business day.
- If it still hasn’t been picked up by midday on the next business day, please contact us on 04 499 4444.
Preparing your rubbish and recycling for collection
- Only official receptacles (yellow Council rubbish bags, green/clear recycling bags and recycling wheelie bins) will be collected. We have a good stock of yellow Council rubbish bags at the Arapaki Service Centre, the Tip Shop, and Johnsonville, Kilbirnie, Newtown or Tawa libraries.
