Waste minimisation

Waste less, do more!

Thanks to your feedback, we now have a plan to minimise and manage waste across the Waipā district over the next six years.

Every six years Council review our Waste Minimisation Plan. This is a mandatory process to enable Council to continue accessing the government’s waste levy.

Full Waste Minimisation and Waste Management 2023-2029 plan below.

Waste in Waipā

On average every Waipā household sends 468kg of waste to landfill each year. Reducing your household waste is not only better for the environment but will reduce the amount you pay for rubbish disposal. Making a dent in the rubbish your create is actually pretty easy.

Take a look in your own rubbish bin, find out what you are throwing out and see if you can avoid creating that waste in the first place, reduce the amount of waste you create, or can you reuse, repurpose or regift it.
