🗓️ Rubbish & Recycling Collection

Auckland Council provides weekly rubbish and recycling collection services for most households. Collection days and bin types vary by address.

You can:

• Check your collection days
• See what goes in each bin
• Get reminders for upcoming collections

🟦 What Goes in Each Bin?

Knowing what can (and can’t) go into each bin helps avoid contamination and keeps recycling services running smoothly.

Council guidance covers:

• Recycling (yellow bin)
• Rubbish (red or general waste bin)
• Food scraps (where available)
• Common problem items

If you’re unsure, always check before putting an item in your bin.

🚛 Missed Collections & Problems

If your bin wasn’t collected, was damaged, or you have an issue with your service, Auckland Council provides online forms to report problems.

These requests go directly to the council’s waste services team.

🧹 Inorganic & Large Item Collections

Inorganic collections are available for large household items that don’t fit in regular bins, such as:

• Furniture
• Appliances
• Scrap metal

These are booked services, not automatic collections.

---

🏭 Transfer Stations & Recycling Centers

For items that can’t go in household bins, local transfer stations and recycling centers accept:

• Green waste
• E-waste
• Construction materials
• Hazardous household waste

Fees may apply depending on the material.
