Extra Coromandel rubbish collections start from Boxing Day

Extra Coromandel rubbish and recycling collections start from Boxing Day

Most Coromandel townships begin receiving additional rubbish and recycling collections from this Friday, changing from fortnightly recycling collections to weekly collections as well as extra weekly collection days.

Summer vacation hotspots including Whangamata and Pauanui will have three collection days each week while others, such as Matarangi, Whitianga, Onemana, Opoutere and Tairua, will receive two collections each week for the summer peak collection period.

The summer Kerbside peak period runs from Boxing Day all the way until the last day of January.

There are no collections on Christmas Day 25 December.

Note: The only town with no change over summer is Thames. Weekly blue bag and fortnightly black bin and green crate collections will continue with the normal routine.

If you plan to leave before your collection day, don't put your rubbish on the street because animals and birds get into the bags and your rubbish and personal information will be strewn around the streets. Drop your official blue bags and recycling at any of our Refuse Transfer Stations at no extra charge. We'd much rather that than have the Coromandel look like a giant tip.

Get your local schedule
Tear-off pads with local Kerbside collection information are available at local outlets around the Coromandel.

Signs and posters are also prominently displayed at all peak vacation areas with additional collections.

Gordon Campbell: On The US Opposition To Mortgage Interest Deductibility For Landlords


Should landlords be able to deduct the interest on the loans they take out to bankroll their property speculation? The US Senate Budget Committee and Bloomberg News don't think this is a good idea, for reasons set out below. Regardless, our coalition government has been burning through a ton of political capital by giving landlords a huge $2.9 billion tax break via interest deductibility, while still preaching the need for austerity to the disabled, and to everyone else...
