Rural refuse disposal

Road closed 1

Council will be making the Waipawa Transfer Station available for rural residents who live outside of refuse collection areas, at limited times during the week.

• When: Thursdays (starting from 2 April) from 9.00am to 5.00pm
• Where: Waipawa Transfer Station, Tikokino Road
• Who: Rural residents who live outside of refuse collection areas and do not receive a kerbside collection.
• What: Rubbish must be disposed of in Council green or yellow pre-paid rubbish bags only, which are available from New World, Countdown or Four-Square. Disposal of general rubbish or any other rubbish bags that are not Council prepaid will not be allowed.

We want to make sure everyone is kept safe, so the Transfer Station will be closely monitored during drop off times. To maintain physical distancing, residents will be asked to remain in their vehicles and will only be permitted into the drop off zone one car at a time. Once inside the drop off zone, residents will be asked to drop their bags into the bins and return to their vehicle immediately.

Council asks those who utilise this service to please be patient and understand they will be attended to as quickly as possible.

Please note that dropping of bags or rubbish of any kind by the gate will be treated as illegal dumping and subject to fines.
