Kerbside Recycling Collection Service

Council is meeting it's obligation under the 2008 Waste Minimisation Act and Council's Solid Waste (asset) Management and Minimisation Plan (SWaMMP), by providing a weekly Kerbside Recyclables Collection Service for the communities of Te Kuiti, Piopio, Mokau and that part of the Rural Ward in and around Te Kuiti and Waitomo Village.

Properties that are currently receiving a Kerbside Recycling Collection Service have been provided with a purpose built Green Bin for recycling purposes that is collected on the same day as the bagged refuse collection.

The Kerbside Recycling Collection Service takes place on the following days:  

• Mokau / Awakino – Tuesday of each week.               
•  Waitomo Rural Ward / Piopio – Tuesday of each week.
•  Te Kuiti – Friday of each week.

Any change in timing of the Kerbside Recycling Collection Service due to Public Holidays, will be advertised in the Waitomo News one week prior to any change.
