Book your inorganic collection

If you have inorganic items you would like us to remove, you need to let us know by booking a collection.

COVID-19 Alert Level 2 - Inorganic collections information

Household on-property inorganics collections will continue to be collected, but with physical distancing.

If you see dumped rubbish, please report it by calling 0800 NO DUMP (0800 663 867).

How inorganic collections work

Our inorganic collections are one of the waste and recycling services funded by the Waste Management Targeted Rate.

Each property in Auckland that pays the rate is able to book (without any additional charge) one inorganic collection per year.

Collections are scheduled for certain areas at different times of the year. Once the schedule is released, you can find the collection period for your area by looking up your property in the online booking tool.

After you've found the collection dates, you can make a booking any time up to eight days before the start of the collection period.

Area	Schedule released	Collection months	Length of collection period
Mainland Auckland	Late May	See booking tool for collection time	1 week
Waiheke Island	September	November - May	3-5 weeks
Aotea / Great Barrier Island	September	October - November	2-3 weeks
Rakino Island	October	November	2-3 weeks
