Who gets these bins ?
All properties in Dannevirke, Eketāhuna, Woodville and Pahiatua that pay urban rates will receive these bins. You may see your neighbour doesn’t have one, this is because they are in the rural boundary.

When distributed, there will be an information packet inside the glass recycling crate including:
A booklet with general information, recycling route maps, tips on recycling and collection day information
A fridge magnet with information on collection days for your town

How are these new bins paid for ?
The improved recycling services will be funded by a combination of rates for urban properties receiving these services, revenue generated from the recycled glass, and through Central Government's waste levy.

When will the kerbside recycling start ?
The improved kerbside recycling collection service is planned to begin in July this year.

On what day will the recycle bins be picked up ?
