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.
| Description of collection point | Description of waste | Quantity that can be dropped off each fortnight |
