Rubbish and Recycling Collection
The Council runs a weekly kerbside rubbish bag collection in the urban residential and central business areas of the Hastings district.
Refuse Transfer Stations
A refuse transfer station (RTS) is a place where the public, including businesses and industries, can dispose of their waste. They are a station where refuse is stored prior to its transfer from the city to the rural landfill.
The Hastings district has two RTSs; Blackbridge on the way to Haumoana, and Henderson Road in Flaxmere.
