Clip your lid whenever the bin goes out on the kerbside
We all know how windy South Taranaki can be (especially around the coast), and it often hits us during the night, blowing bins over, spilling contents which blow down the street.
If you think your bin could be blown over during high wind, consider putting it out on the morning of your collection day (before 7.30am) rather than the night before and don’t forget to clip your lid. If your bin isn’t full, you could also leave it until your next collection, or take it to one of our Transfer Stations, where recycling is free to dispose of.
It’s not often that weather stops kerbside collection from continuing. But if this happens, we’ll update residents on Facebook, our website and our Antenno app (see more below) if severe weather causes any changes to kerbside collections.
If you're unsure how to use the clip on your bin, have a look at the video below (from the 0.40 second mark)
