Recycling and rubbish

Information about recycling, rubbish collection, landfill hours and charges and more. The kerbside collection includes a wider range of recycled materials which fits the Dunedin City Council (DCC) sustainable practice initiative as less waste is going to landfills and recyclable materials remain as a resource.

Green Island landfill and transfer stations

Find out more details about the Green Island landfill and Resource Recovery Park, Rummage shop, and transfer stations, including operating hours, fees, and accepted items for recycling or disposal.

Landfill and transfer station charges

Operation of the landfill is paid for through user charges - the money you pay to dispose of your waste.

E-waste and batteries

Did you know that e-waste is the fastest growing waste stream in developed countries? It's all the electronic equipment that's reached the end of its useful life and is headed for disposal. For example, old TVs, computers, cell phones, printers, and even batteries are considered to be e-waste.

Rural recycling hubs

Dunedin city boundaries stretch far and wide which means some residents living in rural or satellite areas do not have ready access to DCC’s kerbside collection service for recycling.

Waste minimisation and education

This page features Councils Waste Minimisation and Management Plan (WMMP) 2020, adopted in June 2020. To keep pace with changes in the creation, reuse and/or disposal of waste, we review the WMMP at least every six years. The plan provides the direction for waste minimisation to be achieved.
