Blenheim Transfer Station
The Blenheim Transfer Station and green waste collection area is a user pays facility. The entrance is from George Conroy Drive. Once you have crossed the weighbridge follow the signs that direct you to either the general or green waste collection areas.
The fees at this Transfer Station are calculated per tonne.
Green waste and grass deliveries
Grass should be delivered separate from greenwaste due to the potential presence of pesticides and herbicides. Composting does not break down these chemicals, so we need to ensure that the grass is kept separate and sent to landfill for disposal.
For clarity unsorted mixed loads of grass and green waste will be treated as grass, charged at the grass rate and sent to landfill for disposal.
If you have a split load of separated grass and greenwaste you will have to weigh in twice to avoid paying a mixed load charge. Minimum weigh charges will also apply.
All acceptable items are listed below with the relevant fees
You will be required to sort your waste into the appropriate bins at this facility to ensure we are maximising diversion from the landfill. As listed below there are differing prices for different types of waste. If you are bringing a mixed load into this facility ie: general waste/green waste/hardfill, to ensure you are charged fairly, we recommend that you separate the differing types of waste on your vehicle. You can then deposit one type of waste, travel across the exit weighbridge, pay for it at that rate then deposit the other waste items. This will require you to complete a lap of the facility for each waste type.
