Your landfill bin

Items placed in your landfill bin get transported to Bonny Glen Landfill near Marton, and buried in the ground. 

There shouldn’t be any smells in your bin from food scraps, as they’ll be in the food scraps bin.  

If you are using disposable nappies or other incontinence products, there are some things you can do to manage the smell: 

• If possible, tip the contents of the nappy down the toilet 
• wrap the nappy into itself using the tabs and seal nappies tightly in waste plastic bags such as bread bags, before putting them in the landfill bin 
• store your landfill bin in the shade 

• make sure your landfill bin’s lid closes properly (don’t overfill it), and secure with a lid latch 
• consider using odour-neutralising products in your bin, such as cat litter or eco-friendly smell absorbers.

The following suppliers sell tow hitch devices that may help you get your bin to the kerbside:

Bins that are on your property are your responsibility to care for, so if they are damaged, stolen or misused while on your property we will not replace them. You can arrange delivery of a replacement bin (costs apply).  

Bins that are damaged or stolen on collection day while they are on the kerb for collection or after they have been emptied will be replaced by NPDC provided they have not been put out days early or left out days later.

We will replace bins and or parts (such as wheels and lids) due to normal wear and tear. 

Please phone us on 06 759 6060 or email us if you need to arrange for a bin repair or a replacement bin.
