The council provides outer rural rubbish skip drop-off points at 13 sites within the district.
These sites offer weekly or fortnightly rubbish bag pick-ups. They are for local household waste only. Animal waste, hazardous waste, commercial waste, and bulky items are not permitted.
Domestic rubbish bags can also be dropped off at the Whanganui Resource Recovery Centre, 79-83 Maria Place. Charges apply.
