Blackbridge Transfer Station is operated by an independent contractor (Bin Hire Company) and not Hastings District Council, however HDC manages the recycling containers on-site.
A transfer station is a place that accepts and treats waste before it is taken to a landfill or recycling facility. The public and waste collection businesses can bring waste items not suitable for kerbside collection to transfer stations.
There are two transfer stations in Hastings district; Henderson Road Transfer Station (Flaxmere) and Blackbridge Transfer Station (Haumoana).
Both of our transfer stations accept garden waste (also called green waste). Garden waste needs to be kept separate from other waste, so it can be composted. The cost of getting rid of garden waste at a transfer station is cheaper than general rubbish.
There is also a commercial company that accepts residential green waste in Awatoto, Napier. For the details, see their website: BioRich.
Check our online A-Z Waste Guide or give our customer services team a call on 06 871 5000.
