Rural rubbish collection

We provide 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.

These sites offer weekly or fortnightly rubbish bag pick-ups (white sticker required). They are for local household/domestic waste only – animal, toxic, or commercial waste is not permitted.

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.
