Kerbside Recycling
From 1 February 2024, the rules for council kerbside recycling will be standardised across New Zealand (with exceptions for Clutha, Hurunui, and Westland District Councils until 2027).
Here is what you can put in your kerbside recycling bins (unless your local council is one of the exceptions):
👉 Clean plastics - types 1, 2, and 5 only. Look for the number inside a triangle.
👉 Clean glass bottles and jars - not drinking glasses or other glass items.
👉 Clean paper, including cardboard and books - not paper lined with plastic.
👉 Clean aluminium and steel cans - remember not to squash the cans or put aerosol cans in recycling.
Remember to use the right recycling containers and check with your council if you need to separate recyclables by type.
Some items can be recycled at special collection points, such as aluminium foil, batteries, and more. Contact your council for more information.
