Teihana tukunga otaota Transfer stations

A transfer station is a place that accepts and treats waste before bringing it to a landfill or recycling facility.

Waste collectors and the public can bring waste items not suitable for roadside collection to transfer stations.

This includes:

• garden waste
• household waste
• hazardous items
• scrap metal.

Check which items a transfer station accepts before you use their service.

You can also drop off many items at a community recycling centre. This includes, in many cases, green waste and general rubbish.
