Bin-day rules
Before you put the bins out
- Put council rubbish bags and recycling bins at the kerb by 8 am.
- Use the exact address result because parts of Rānui and Ascot Park have different collection days, and the recycling zone determines which week each bin is due.
- The household service excludes industrial and commercial addresses.
- Collections normally continue on public holidays; check a current council notice for any Christmas Day replacement.
