Mobile Recycling Service
Sustainabox and Recyclosaurus Rex are hitting rural roads around the rohe.
Trailers will visit each location fortnightly on Saturday, from 9am to 1pm (winter hours will change):
Week 1, starting Saturday 1 October from 9am - 1pm:
BP Pongakawa, 1646 State Highway 2, Pongakawa
Omanawa Hall, 560 Omanawa Road, Omanawa
Week 2, starting Saturday 8 October from 9am - 1pm:
Te Ranga School, 1492 Te Matai Road, Te Ranga
You’ll be able to recycle:
- Clean glass beverage and food jars - green, clear, brown (no lids)
- Clean plastics -numbers 1, 2, 5 only (no lids)
- Clean tins and drink cans
- Flattened cardboard and paper
And just like with any recycling service, contamination can be a problem! So please rinse your recyclables, flatten your cardboard, and remove lids.
Just a reminder that the trailers do have a limited capacity, so please only bring "kerbside amounts" of recycling. This service is not intended for commercial use, stockpiled or large items like fridge boxes. Things like that should go to our recycling centres.
If you're unsure of anything, there will be a Council team member on-site at all times to answer questions and help you sort your recycling.
