  • Red crate - glass only.
  • Teal crate - paper & small cardboard volumes. Collapse down as much as possible. Larger cardboard boxes and cardboard volumes can be taken to recycling drop-off centres at any time and disposed of for free.
  • Black/Blue crate - plastic bottles and plastics (1,2,5) and cans. Recyclables must be clean and lids/tops removed (for rubbish).

The crates must remain with your property when you move. If you require a crate, phone Council on 06 857 8060, or pop in and see us at our Waipawa office or Waipawa Library.
