Never forget your bin day again
Have trouble remembering which day to put your bin out each week? Get a reminder straight to your phone and join Western Bay of Plenty District Council’s crusade to reduce waste and costs.
Physical 2022-2023 recycling collection calendars will not be delivered to households. Instead, you can download a copy from kerbsidecollective.co.nz, or use the Antenno app.
Council’s Deputy CEO and Group Manager Infrastructure, Gary Allis, says the kerbside service has been running for almost a year now, and most people are comfortable with which bins to put out and when.
“Instead of printing and delivering 18,500 calendars again this year, we’ve decided to go digital as part of our waste minimisation efforts,” says Gary.
“It's a team effort to reduce our waste and so we are doing our bit to support the incredible mahi of our community.”
For those that prefer a printed calendar, you can pick up a copy of the new 2022-23 recycling day calendar from any of our libraries and service centres or download it from our website.
You will also be able to cut the calendar out of all your community newspapers – Katikati Advertiser, Lizard News, Te Puke Times and Weekend Sun this week.
Gary encourages those more technologically inclined to download our free Antenno mobile app – a great way to stay on top of which day to put your bins out each week. You’ll receive a notification straight to your mobile the day before your scheduled bin day to remind you what bin to put out.
“And of course, our website kerbsidecollective.co.nz is the one stop shop for all your kerbside questions, with a handy item search function and bin day tool, plus other tips and advice.”
Like the 2021-22 kerbside period the only change for the upcoming 2022-23 collection period will be Good Friday on 7 April, moving to Saturday 8 April. All other public holidays will not affect collection days.
Council’s kerbside rubbish and recycling service started on 1 July 2021. It’s designed to increase the amount of material diverted from landfill by about 60 percent – around 1800 tonnes a year.
