Marlborough Sounds Coin Skips
Coin Skip Availability Post July Road Slips
All coin skips are operating as normal and charges apply.
24-hour coin-operated skips are available for use at four locations around the Marlborough Sounds.
They cost $6 to operate (based on two standard rubbish bags). Detailed operating instructions are on each skip.
It is important that the mechanism gate is fully closed before inserting the coins, otherwise it will not open. Also, the mechanism gate must be opened within five seconds of the coin dropping through the slot or it will not open.
