Refuse Transfer Station Charges

Hastings District Council's refuse transfer stations are totally user-pays. This means only the people who use the transfer stations will be paying for their operation, not ratepayers in general.

Green waste charges are much lower than mixed waste, so there’s an extra incentive to separate your green waste and recycle as much as possible.

New charging scheme from 27 July 2009

HENDERSON ROAD TRANSFER STATION

The way you pay for rubbish and green waste disposal at Henderson Road is changing. All rubbish and green waste will be charged by weight and no longer by vehicle size (i.e. car, small trailer, large trailer etc).

You will be charged on a per tonne basis for the weight of the rubbish and green waste dropped off at the site. The weight will be calculated by weighing all vehicles (including trailers) in and out of the transfer station.

Remember - the heavier the load the more you pay.

Charges as of 27th July 2009:
Rubbish is to be charged by weight at a rate of $115 per tonne (including GST). A minimum charge of $12 (including GST) applies to rubbish. These charges include the Government Waste Levy.

Green waste is to be charged by weight at a rate of $75 per tonne (including GST). A minimum charge of $8 (including GST) applies to green waste.

BLACK BRIDGE TRANSFER STATION

The Blackbridge Transfer Station will operate as usual until December 2009. Until that time, the following charges are applicable.

*HDC reserves the right to charge the Commercial rate if small trailers exceed 350kg or large trailers exceed 500kg.
