Monthly amnesty day for hazardous waste collection
Health and safety requirements are triggering a move to monthly amnesty days for hazardous substance disposal in Whangārei, the Northland Regional Council (NRC) advises.
The amnesty days will allow hazardous waste to be taken to the city’s Re:Sort centre to ensure experienced regional council waste management staff and a contractor are on hand to identify substances, sort them, and store them safely for disposal.
While the facility is operated by Whangārei District Council, hazardous waste disposal has continued to be managed by NRC.
The free monthly amnesty days will be widely advertised in the lead-up to the change, with the first hazardous waste disposal amnesty day scheduled for 17 November 2020 between the hours of 8 am and 12 noon.
For details and the full schedule read the article on the NRC website.
