How is it paid for?
Only properties that receive a kerbside recycling service pay a targeted rate for recycling collections. The targeted rate covers the kerbside collection service and disposal costs.
Every property in the district pays towards the running of the Waihī and Paeroa Refuse Transfer Stations (RTS).
You can recycle free of charge at these sites.
