The transfer station is open!
We know this was an unpopular decision and we appreciate your patience as we worked through the processes needed to protect staff and customers from COVID-19.
From today, the transfer station will take general rubbish and green waste but unfortunately we still can’t accept recycling (working on it).
Here’s what you need to know:
- Contact tracing requires you to supply your name, phone number and vehicle rego via an online form so bring your phone. If you do not have internet access, staff can help
- Pre-sort all waste e.g. rubbish, garden waste beforehand
- You must maintain a minimum distance of 2m from others at all times
- Payment is card only, no cash will be accepted
- Transfer station opening hours are: Monday – Friday 7.30am – 5pm Weekends: 9am – 5pm
Once again, thank you for your patience. We will update you on recycling when services can resume.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
