In line with the level 4 restrictions from the government, Refuse Transfer Stations are closed. We will have pop up rubbish disposal sites for rural residents, those who don’t receive kerbside collections, and anyone with too much rubbish for their wheelie bin. You can dispose of rubbish in official Council bags between 9am-3.30pm on the following days at these sites:
Te Aroha
April 2 and 17
In front of the Te Aroha Domain on Whitaker St (opposite Countdown)
Matamata

Glass recycling
You can also recycle glass at these locations (kindly funded by the Glass Packaging Forum). These sites will be staffed, with strict controls around contact and disposal to keep our communities, staff and contractors safe.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
