Rural rubbish collection

We provide rubbish collection services in certain rural areas only where private providers do not operate. 

Outer rural rubbish skip drop-off points

The council provides outer rural rubbish skip drop-off points at 13 sites within the district.

Sites are a mix of weekly and fortnightly pick-ups. These sites are for the deposit of normal household / domestic rubbish by locals – no animal, toxic or commercial waste is allowed.

Domestic rubbish bags (without a white sticker) can also be dropped off at the Whanganui Resource Recovery Centre, 79-83 Maria Place. Charges apply.

For more information on rural rubbish collection, please contact the council waste officer - john.sula@whanganui.govt.nz

Private rubbish collection services

Private rubbish collection providers offer a user-pays gate pick-up service of rubbish bags (white sticker required) and wheelie bins to the inner rural areas highlighted in red on this map

The service areas on this map may be subject to change by the collection providers. Rural residents eligible for this service should directly contact one of the rubbish collectors in our district for details of the service.
