Kerbside rubbish and recycling will be collected one day later than usual following the Auckland Anniversary and Waitangi Day public holidays.
This means if your rubbish or recycling collection usually falls on Monday, it will be collected on Tuesday. If it’s usually collected on Tuesday it will be collected on Wednesday, and so on for the next two weeks.
Collections will return to normal from Monday 14 February.
Hamilton City Council Rubbish and Recycling Transitional Manager Trent Fowles encourages residents to download the free mobile app Antenno to check their collection day.
“Antenno is the most accurate way to keep up to date with any collection day changes and reminders. It’s easy and free to use. You just need to download the app from either Google Play or the App Store.”
You can also use the address finder search function on the website to find out what day to put your bins out, as well as which items to place in which bin.
“And don’t forget our friendly customer support team are also available to help if you have any questions that can’t be answered online,” said Fowles.
Extra recycling can also be dropped off for free at the Lincoln Street Refuse Transfer Station at 60 Lincoln Street. The refuse transfer station is open between 9am and 4pm on Sundays and public holidays. The station’s normal hours are 7.30am to 4.30pm.
The Hamilton Organic Centre in Wickham Street, which accepts green waste from members of the public and from commercial operators, is open every day from 8am to 5pm.
