Waste Collection Day
Ohope Beach kerbside collection takes place on Mondays.
Kerbside rubbish and recycling happens weekly, whilst greenwaste collections happen fortnightly. With the fees for this service paid via rates, the Council supplies each urban household with a rubbish bin (80 litre), a recycling bin, and a greenwaste bin (240 litre), while rural and commercial properties just receive the rubbish bin and recycling crate.
