Banks Peninsula Rubbish and Recycling

Banks Peninsula residents who do not live on a wheelie bin collection route can use the community collection points for household rubbish and recycling.

The community collection points are either a wheelie bin, skip or a trailer.

Using the collection points

Only for rubbish and/or recycling dropped off by a resident.
Waste should not exceed the amount that can be placed in the kerbside wheelie bins.
Please place recycling loose, not in bags.
Make sure you put the right waste in the right bin – check the information about sorting your rubbish if you’re not sure.
Take green waste, large items, large quantities and commercial waste to a transfer station for recycling or disposal.
