We believe our Green Bin service is one of the most modern & lowest priced private wheelie bin collection system in N.Z. (About the same price as a rubbish bag & council sticker). Our price includes bin hireage and collections.

How does this system work?

The Nature Green Rubbish Bin is for anything except liquid, hot ashes, concrete, bricks or dirt and are available in the following sizes:

• Small Rubbish Bin (Max Wt 20kg - holds approx 1.5 bags);
• Medium Rubbish Bin (Max Wt 25kg - holds approx 2.5 bags);
• Large Rubbish Bin (Max Wt 50kg - holds approx 5+ bags).

Simply wheel your bin/s to the most convenient position on your property and fill them with your normal household rubbish. Wheel your green bins out to the kerb on collection day by 7.30am. This weekly service and collection is done by three trucks, one for rubbish, one for compost and the other for recycling.

Environmental Green Bins collection team will collect your wheelie, compost and recycling bins from your kerb on the same day as your designated Tauranga District Council rubbish collection day.
Rubbish Areas are specified in Collection Days in this website click here.

1. Have your Green Bin(s) placed on the curb by 7.30am with arrows on bin lid facing the road. Only Christmas Day, New Years Day and Good Friday are non-collection days. Check your local press and radio if you have a holiday collection doubt;
2. Please place your bins at least one metre away from any obstacles such as trees, cars, letterboxes. Do not obstruct footpaths, accessways or roadways;
3. Please make sure the bin lid is securely closed the bin/s do not exceed their weight;
4. Please keep your bins washed & clean after use to safeguard unpleasant odors. Do not leave out overnight;
5. Do not jam cardboard / polystyrene etc in the bottom of the bin, rather place on top of other rubbish under lid so as not to risk a clear empty. (Collections are normally done by an automatic truck. The driver cannot always see if the bins are completely empty.)
6. Inform us promptly of address or ownership changes.
