Kerbside Collection for Mōkau/Awakino

Council's solid waste contractor is unable to provide a kerbside collection service to Mōkau and Awakino residents until after 22 May 2026 due to the construction works happening on SH3 Awakino Gorge. We are currently working on a solution and will provide an update when an alternative is confirmed. We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
