What does this mean for me?
- Your final Enviro NZ bin collection will take place during June 2024 as currently scheduled. Please do not use this bin after your final scheduled pick-up.
- Dunedin City Council (DCC) have begun delivering brand-new bins with collections commencing at the start of July 2024.
- You should use your new DCC bins for your rubbish and recycling from this date.
What do I do with my old bin?
You are welcome to keep your Enviro NZ bin for personal use around your property. Possible uses include:
- Storage for items like firewood, sports gear, large tools or outdoor cushions.
- As a container for animal feed and bedding.
- Use as a home composting bin or for excess garden waste.
- Alternatively, we will be removing empty Enviro NZ bins from properties between 01 July and 19 July.
- For bin removals, please ensure your bins are empty and on kerbside on the first working day after your normal collection day, and we'll take care of the rest.
- Due to the scale of this project, it will take us a few weeks to remove Enviro NZ bins from those customers not wanting to keep them.
- If you wish to drop your bin off to us you can do so at 29 Brighton Road, Green Island.
Payment and account impacts
- Depending on your current payment type, one of the following will occur:
- Your last Direct Debit payment was processed in June as normal. Your Direct Debit will then cease once your final payment has been processed
- If your account is in credit after your last collection is invoiced, we will contact you to organise a refund of any remaining credit balance
- If you have any automatic payment set up, please stop this with your bank once your final payment has been made to us.
