Greenwaste collection closed 18 August to 31 August

Residential customers are requested to hold on to their greenwaste for the next two weeks while urgent repairs are carried out at the Blenheim Transfer Station, off George Conroy Drive.

Solid Waste Manager Mark Lucas said the repairs were for essential maintenance.

“We appreciate people’s understanding on this. We need to close off the collection area and use some heavy machinery to reconfigure the space.”

“I know this will be inconvenient for some customers but there is no easy way around this.”

“This temporary closure will help us complete the upgrades quickly, with minimal holdups. It will also ensure public safety with the heavy machinery operating.”

The greenwaste collection area will be closed from 4pm on Sunday 17 August, reopening at 8am on Monday 1 September.
