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.

Police apologise to rest home alleged theft victim after failing to act

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Police have apologised to a pensioner who caught a carer-turned-crook allegedly stealing cash, admitting there was more they could have done.

The about-face comes after the Waikato Times revealed the plight of rest home resident Lisa Allen, who set up a hidden-camera, capturing footage that appeared to show the caregiver opening her handbag and taking out a $50 note while the room was unattended.
