Planning a trip to the Landfill?
From 14 June, the Transfer Station at Wellington’s Southern Landfill will temporarily close on weekdays while the roof is replaced – but it will be open as usual at weekends.
The closure will impact residential customers dropping off general waste, hazardous waste and green waste, but commercial waste operators won’t be affected.
The Tip Shop, Recycle Centre and Capital Compost will remain open.
The work is expected to take at least five weeks.
