Recycling and Rubbish

We're committed to making Whanganui a low-waste district to protect our environment and create a more circular economy. You can help do your bit by recycling correctly, avoiding unnecessary waste in your household and workplace, and disposing of unavoidable waste responsibly.

Kerbside recycling

Whanganui now has a kerbside recycling service for households in the city – as well as households in Fordell, Mowhanau and Marybank

Urban rubbish collection

We do not operate a kerbside rubbish collection service within the urban area – however, there are a number of privately owned and operated user-pays rubbish collection services
