Usual Rubbish and Recycling Collection Services
The Council runs a weekly kerbside rubbish and recycling collection and a fortnightly green waste collection service in the District.
The standard bins collected weekly are 60/80 litre wheelie bin for residential waste and 240 litre for greenwaste, with a 45 litre crate for recyclables, with a 240 litre wheelie for greenwaste collected every second week (fortnightly).
- The 60/80 litre bin for residual waste can be upgraded to a 120 litre bin for a one-time charge in the year that you make the change, and in subsequent years, this additional charge is incorporated into the rates for the property.
- Lost, stolen and damaged bins, and recycling crates, can be replaced for a small charge.
- Please refer to the "Residual Refuse Bin Charges" section of the Kawerau Fees and Charges document for the current charges.
