Frequently Asked Questions
- What day is my rubbish collected?
- It depends on your council and your street. Enter your address above and we will tell you your exact collection day where we have that data, or point you to your council's own tool.
- How do I find my recycling week?
- Recycling runs on a fortnightly cycle in most councils, split into two alternating groups often called Week 1 and Week 2. Enter your address above to find which group your street is in, where we have that data.
- Which councils have full bin day data on Suburb.co.nz?
- We have full suburb-level bin day data for Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, Hamilton, Tauranga and Lower Hutt. For every other council we link you straight to their own collection day tool.
- Does my council collect on public holidays?
- Most councils shift collections a day later for the rest of the week whenever a public holiday falls on a normal collection day. Check your council's own site for their exact holiday calendar.
