A message from Mayor Alex and the Council Team
During the Long Term Plan consultation process, you gave us feedback on the way we manage Council Rubbish and Recycling services in Central Hawke’s Bay
– and we’ve listened!
It was clear from the start – our community understands the aspiration of our campaign to be Waste Free CHB, and that we have a goal to increase the amount of recyclable material which is diverted from going into our landfill.
As a result, changes to Council’s solid waste services will come into effect across the District from Monday, 2 August, 2021.
We have increased how much you can easily place at the kerbside for collection by including a third crate for cardboard and paper waste to the kerbside recycling collection for Waipawa and Waipukurau.
Changes to your collection days will also occur as a result of the new services from Monday 2 August. We are also extending kerbside recycling collection to the rural communities of Otडne, Takapau, Tikokino and Ongaonga with their existing drop-off centres being transitioned into rural recycling trailers, that frequent different areas of the District on a regular basis.
We are very proud and excited to be making these changes for the better of our communities, and thank you for your feedback and suggestions on future proofing Rubbish and Recycling services in the District.
Let’s move forward together on our journey towards a thriving and Waste Free CHB!

Mayor of Tamatea/Central Hawke’s Bay
