Free collection of kerbside wheelie bins
Queenstown Lakes District Council will run a one-off free collection of old kerbside wheelie bins.
Makarora, Kingston and Glenorchy and residents living along the highways to these townships are asked to put their old, empty bins (including unwanted QLDC red-lidded bins) out by 7.00am on the following days:
Makarora Wednesday 30 October (not the normal collection day).
Kingston Thursday 31 October.
Glenorchy Friday 1 November.
Queenstown/Wakatipu residents are asked to put their old, empty blue-lidded bins out by 7.00am on their usual collection day between 4-8 November.
