Greenwaste collection is available for all residents with a Council refuse collection in urban areas of Whakatāne, Ōhope, Tāneatua, Te Teko, Edgecumbe, Matatā and Murupara. The large 240 L greenwaste bin is collected fortnightly on the same day as your residual waste and on alternate weeks to your recycling.
To ensure your greenwaste is collected, do not put any food waste contaminants in your bins.
Check when your next Greenwaste collection is due at Waste Collection Days.
