When to Put Your Bins Out

Rubbish, organics and recycling are collected on the same day of the week, but at different frequencies. Kerbside collections in the Waimakariri are split into Week 1 and Week 2 recycling collections, and this dictates when your kerbside bins are collected.

You can check this map and enter your address to find out if your recycling collection day is a Week 1 or Week 2. And we have a handy calendar showing which days to put each bin out.
