Waikato district transfer stations

COVID-19 update

Both Te Kauwhata and Huntly transfer stations are now closed to the public until further notice. This is due to it not being deemed an essential service and appropriate social distancing within the sites is difficult to maintain.

We want you to recycle more so our new service includes an extra recycling crate for kerbside recycling in all areas. We also provide recycling facilities at our refuse transfer stations.
