No Xmas Day or New Year’s Day kerbside collections
Residents whose usual rubbish and recycling collection days are Mondays are advised to put their bins/bags out on the Saturday prior:
If your collection day falls on Christmas Day (Monday, 25 Dec 2017) please put your bins/bags out two days earlier, on Saturday 23 December 2017 for collection.

If you have neighbours or friends in Mount Maunganui, Mataphi, Omanu or Arataki - please share so they don't miss the earlier collections.
