​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.

• metal and whiteware appliances
• timber
• beds
• tyres
• e-waste
• polystyrene
• car and truck batteries
