Rural Collections

Rural householders can use the rubbish and recycling collection service providing official Hurunui Council bags are used and the recycling guidelines followed.

Official rubbish and recycling bags can be purchased from various outlets in Hurunui.

Remember if the contents of the recycling bags are clean and dry, used recycling bags will be recycled by Agrecovery into cable covers, vehicle parts and compost bins.

Unless agreed in advance with council, official bags must be left at one of the drop off points below by 8am on the day below - non holiday weeks only.

Waste or recycling left prior to the collection day listed below and non official Hurunui Council bags will be deemed illegally dumped waste under the Litter Act (1979), Sections 14 and 15.
