Te para me te hangarua | Rubbish and recycling

Kia ora, thanks for joining the conversation. We have some options to make kerbside rubbish and recycling better in Lower Hutt, and we want to know what you think.

You may remember we asked you about waste earlier in the year. We listened to your feedback and are now proposing four options for kerbside rubbish collection, and a solution for recycling and green waste.

It’s important you feel informed about what these options will mean for your household.

On this site you’ll find information about how we got here, details about the collection options and how they may affect your rates. We've also put together some frequently asked questions, and if you want to know the full details - check out the key documents.

Once you're ready, tell us which option you prefer. Simply go to the feedback form and have your say.

Council will meet on 15 September 2020 and will use your feedback to help make a decision on which option we'll go with. We’re aiming for the new system to be in place by 1 July 2021.
