Rubbish Bags to Wheelie Bins in 2023

Through the Long Term Plan 2021-2031 process we heard from you that our current refuse bags are not the easiest or most practical to use. When given a choice of using a bag or a wheelie bin, you told us you would prefer a wheelie bin.

From 2023 Council will provide a wheelie bin refuse collection service, instead of rubbish bags, to the townships of Waipukurau, Waipawa, Otāne, Tikokino, Ongaonga and Takapau. The cost of this wheelie bin will be covered by your rates, and will be a similar cost to the existing bag service.

You will still be able to buy rubbish bags beyond 2023, and dispose of these for FREE at Transfer Stations, however kerbside collection will no
longer be available.

You can find out more about decisions made to future-proof solid waste in Council's 2021-2031 Long Term Plan here.
