Recycling and Transfer StationsTaupuni whakawhiti para

So many options . . .

Recycling

If you miss your weekly kerbside recycling collection or live outside of the collection area, there are a number of ways to get rid of your easily recyclable items.

Within the urban area there are four options:

• Blackbridge Transfer Station, Clive
• Open Saturdays and Sundays: 9am to 5pm; Mondays: 7.30am to 5pm. Closed Christmas Day and New Year's Day
• Henderson Rd Transfer Station, Flaxmere
• Open Mondays to Saturdays: 7.45am to 4.30pm; Sundays and public holidays: 9.45am to 4.30pm. Closed Christmas Day, New Year's Day and Good Friday.
• Waimarama Domain, Waimarama
• Open seven days a week; unfenced
• Martin Pl, Havelock North
• Open seven days a week; unfenced

In our rural areas Council has set up a Green Bin recycling scheme. This works with the assistance of members of the communities who advise when the bins require emptying. The are in:

• Pukehamoamoa
• Tutira
• Poukawa
• Maraekakaho
• Waimarama
• Waipatiki (Summer)

Got lots of green waste?

Drop-off points for green waste are:

• Blackbridge Transfer Station, Clive
• Henderson Rd Transfer Station, Flaxmere

The cost (see fees and charges at the bottom of this page) of getting rid of green waste at a transfer station is cheaper than general rubbish, so it makes sense to keep it separate. Keeping it separate allows Council to ensure it goes to a commercial composting company – which means it does not go into the landfill.

There is also a commercial company that accepts residential green waste in Awatoto, Napier. For the details see: BioRich.

Rubbish

In Hastings, general rubbish is accepted for a fee (see fees and charges at the bottom of this page) at:

• Blackbridge Transfer Station, Clive
• Henderson Rd Transfer Station, Flaxmere
