Cardboard collection

We offer a free cardboard collection for residents and businesses in the central city every Tuesday night.

Cardboard must be put out between 5.30pm and 10pm and must:

  • be placed out on the kerb, away from litter bins
  • not block the footpath
  • be secured so it doesn't blow away in the wind.

For missed collections phone us on 04 499 4444.
