Lower Hutt's rubbish collection becomes clean and quiet
The tradition of forgetful Lower Hutt residents scrambling to get their bins out at the sound of a chugging diesel engine might soon be history.
Half the city’s rubbish truck fleet will be electric from July next year, with the last of the combustion-powered fleet to be phased out by 2024.
The move is part of the Hutt City Council’s new rates-funded rubbish and recycling service.
Mayor Campbell Barry campaigned on introducing a modern waste management system during the local body elections and he is delighted with the electric trucks.
“By modernising our rubbish collection services alongside our recycling changes and new green waste service, we have created incentives for people to produce less waste.”

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
