Chatham Islands, New Zealand

Chatham Islands Council
rubbish and recycling

Chatham Islands Council manages waste through island waste facilities and published disposal and recycling arrangements rather than a universal mainland-style kerbside calendar.

At a glance

Kerbside services

Service availability can vary by property. Confirm your address with the council before relying on a calendar.

Published local hours

Waste facilities

Use the council-designated disposal site.

Material-specific

Recycling

Separate only the materials the council currently accepts.

Bin-day rules

Before you put the bins out

  • Do not assume a kerbside collection is available.
  • Confirm facility hours and acceptance before travelling.

Exact dates

Confirm the property

Check the council's current waste-management page for the relevant island facility and accepted material. Collections Day has not yet connected and audited this council's live property lookup, so we do not display a guessed weekday.
