Marlborough Rubbish Collection Days

Marlborough District Council collects rubbish weekly, on the same day each week for a given address. Recycling goes out on that same day but only fortnightly, alternating between two week groups.

The table below covers 27 Marlborough suburbs with published collection data. For a property-level answer rather than a suburb-level one, use Marlborough District Council's collection days tool.
