Recycling

Glass is separated into the blue crate; other accepted recycling uses the green crate.

Bin-day rules

Before you put the bins out

  • Confirm the current bag colour and route rather than relying on an old calendar.
  • Put material out by the time shown in the current council guide.

Exact dates

Confirm the property

Check the council's current collection map because some Ōtorohanga streets changed weekday from July 2026; Kāwhia and Aotea remain a separate route. Collections Day has not yet connected and audited this council's live property lookup, so we do not display a guessed weekday.
