All households will receive a flyer from council letting them know when to put out their rubbish.

All inorganic rubbish will be collected the following week.

Nothing should be put out before your local area collection date. If rubbish is put out too early, you may be fined up to $400.

Inorganic collection dates for 2011

Inorganic collections in Manukau City take place between late June and mid-December.  There will be NO INORGANIC COLLECTION between 3 September and 6 November.

There are changes to the schedules for this year’s collection:

  • the changes are to accommodate Rugby World Cup 2011 (RWC 2011) and to ensure Auckland looks its best during this international event
  • the council has planned the collection in a way that it will reduce the impact of rubbish sitting on the street during the high tourist season for RWC 2011
  • the timing of your collection may not be the same as last year
  • the main change is there will be no inorganic material collected or sitting on the kerbside throughout the competion period with no collections between 4 September and 6 November
  • all Manukau residents will receive an inorganic service for 2011. No one will be missed
  • residents will be notified by leaflets delivered directly to letterboxes when the service is occurring for their street.

Reduce, re-use, recycle!

Please don't put anything in the inorganic collection that could be recycled or put to use by someone else.

  • If you have furniture, household items, bikes or equipment in working order, you can donate them to local schools, early childhood centres and charities via Donate NZ.
  • If you have useful re-usable raw materials such as glass jars and bottles, plastics, metals, textiles, appliances or demolition materials, pass them on for re-use at Auckland Freecycle. You do need to register to use this site before use.
