Transfer Station Charges:

The fee you pay at the Transfer Station covers some of the cost of running and looking after the landfill, litter in the district, and managing old dump sites. User-pays also means that the people who MAKE the rubbish have to PAY to get rid of their own rubbish - and thus other ratepayers who utilise different ways to reduce their rubbish e.g. free recycling, are not subsidising others through their rates.

Rubbish Collection information:

Each household receiving a rubbish collection service is provided with a year's supply (52) of 35 litre rubbish bags, which are delivered to applicable households in mid-June of each year.  Extra bags can be purchased from the Council offices and Libraries in Waipukurau and Waipawa for $1.50 each. This also includes the cost of collection on rubbish days, or FREE disposal at any of the district's transfer stations.

• Only official green or yellow plastic Central Hawke's Bay District Council rubbish bags will be collected.
• Rubbish Bags belong to your property not you as an individual. If you move, please leave the rubbish bags and recycling bin for the next residents.
• Fifty two rubbish bags are delivered to properties once a year around June or July. Your local paper and radio station will have details.

For further information please see the section on Recycling.
