Business and community group collection

NPDC is extending its kerbside collection of mixed recyclables, glass and rubbish collection to businesses, clubs, schools and other community groups that generate a similar volume of recycling, glass and waste as a residential household (suitable for our standard kerbside bins).

The service starts on 1 November 2024 and requires businesses and groups to opt-in – apply now by filling out the application form.

Businesses and groups that generate larger volumes of recycling and waste will need to organise a collection with a private waste management business.

 

Collection pick-up days and times

New Plymouth CBD’s collection day is Wednesday. The collection for all other businesses and community groups will be the same day as the residential collection for their area.

Bins and crates must be at the kerbside in the following areas by:

  • New Plymouth CBD: 4.30am.
  • Inglewood and Waitara CBDs, and businesses/groups on New Plymouth’s one-way system: 6am.
  • All other business areas: 7am.
