Bin-day rules
Before you put the bins out
- Put residential bins at the kerb by 7 am; Gore business collections start from 6 am.
- Use the bin assigned to the property, close the lid and keep it clear of parked vehicles and other obstacles.
- The council service is for Gore and Mataura routes; rural properties generally use a private service or a transfer station.
- Check WasteNet's current notice before a public holiday rather than assuming the usual date.
