About our collections
Northland Waste provides a comprehensive kerbside rubbish collection service with wheelie bins and rubbish bags available through Northland, Kaipara and Rodney. Recycling services are collected on the same day as your rubbish collection in most areas. You can check what day your rubbish and recycling will be collected, by selecting your area.
If you have a wheelie bin rubbish service with us, we'll let you know if any changes are made to your collection days due to public holidays or other events by email, text or social media. To find out more about our wheelie bin services, please visit our wheelie bin page.
