Rubbish and recycling collections

Alert

Rubbish collection contractor changes

We have changed our rubbish collection contractors from Central Auckland to Franklin. This means the rubbish trucks will look different and will likely come to collect your rubbish at a different time than usual.
 
Please note: Your collection day will remain the same. You will need to put out your rubbish bin or bag before 7am to make sure you never miss a collection.
 
Customers who currently have an existing night collection or early collection (5.30am, 6am, or 6.30am) are not impacted by this change.
 
See makethemostofwaste.co.nz for more information about this change.
