The transfer station is open!

Communications from Tauranga City Council

We know this was an unpopular decision and we appreciate your patience as we worked through the processes needed to protect staff and customers from COVID-19.

From today, the transfer station will take general rubbish and green waste but unfortunately we still can’t accept recycling (working on it).

Here’s what you need to know:
- Contact tracing requires you to supply your name, phone number and vehicle rego via an online form so bring your phone. If you do not have internet access, staff can help
- Pre-sort all waste e.g. rubbish, garden waste beforehand
- You must maintain a minimum distance of 2m from others at all times
- Payment is card only, no cash will be accepted
- Transfer station opening hours are: Monday – Friday 7.30am – 5pm Weekends: 9am – 5pm

Once again, thank you for your patience. We will update you on recycling when services can resume.

FARMERS PURCHASING

Moyrah from Tauranga City

JUST A HEADS UP TO SHOPPERS. I HAVE SHOPPED AT FARMERS FOR YEARS. BUT DID NOT KNOW THAT ON THE DOCKET IS SAYS IF YOU RETURN AN ITEM THEY WILL NOT REFUND MONEY BUT GIVE YOU A GIFT VOUCHER. NONE OF THE STAFF HAVE EVER STATED THAT. I PURCHASED AN ITEM SATURDAY RETURNED IT SUNDAY AS FOUND I HAD ONE WHEN ARRIVING HOME. EXPECTING A REFUND, BUT NO APPARENTLY NOT. SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN PURCHASING AS I WILL IN THE FUTURE.
