Kerbside recycling and rubbish in Kaipara

Ours is a "user-pays system" - meaning that your waste charges are not currently covered in your rates, and instead you purchase rubbish and recycling bags as you need them.  They can purchased from your local grocery store, gas station or new outlet, with a recommended retail price of $4.30 for rubbish bags and $2.00 for recycling bags.

Check in the sections below to see when you can put your rubbish and recycling bags out for collection from the kerbside.
