Inorganic refuse collection starts in May

Noel Smith from Noel Smith Councillor - Newcastle Ward

Our annual inorganic refuse collections will begin in May.

Inorganic rubbish such as furniture, lawnmowers, televisions will be collected from the kerb outside properties.

Only properties that have refuse and recycling picked up weekly are entitled to the kerbside inorganic collection.

Residents also need to make sure that their pile of inorganic rubbish is less than two metres long and no more than one metre wide.

Anything over this amount will be left behind – it is then the resident’s responsibility to remove the remainder.

It is also important to remember that rubbish should not be put out on the kerb until the day before the week of inorganic collection.


For Te Kowhai, as our weekly refuse and recycling collection is on a Monday, our inorganic collection is Monday 1 May.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
