Picture
We provide rubbish and green waste disposal as well as scrap metal, recycling, re-use and re-sale services for residential and small business customers at 55 Lawrie Road, Snells Beach and 141 Rustybrook Road, Wellsford.

Over time, we will be rolling out a variety of new services making it easier to divert material from landfill as we work towards zero waste. 

Our zero waste activities and education at events are continuing across the region.

Our targets

Our plan is to help the community achieve the following landfill diversion targets:
  • 50% in 2020
  • 65% in 2021
  • rising to 70% by 2022
We will be tracking and reporting our progress using a proven product tracker tool that will measure the flow of waste material through our sites.
About the waste transfer stations

The Snells Beach and Wellsford waste transfer stations are both on top of closed landfills, and Auckland Council is doing some vital work to make sure they don't cause any environmental harm. For this reason, we can only accept waste from residential and and small business customers. We cannot accept hazardous waste, clean or hard fill and vehicles over four tonnes are not permitted.
