Rubbish and recycling rules can vary between towns and councils, and even if you’ve lived in Ōtepoti Dunedin your whole life, it can still be confusing to know what goes in which bin.


To make things easier, Dunedin City Council has created a clear and helpful guide explaining exactly what can (and can’t) go into your kerbside bins.

The DCC also offers a free Kerbside Collection app. Simply download and enter your address to show you:

  • Show which bins are collected on which days

  • Send reminders so you don’t forget to put bins out

  • Help reduce missed collections and contamination


It’s a simple way to stay organised and do your bit for our local environment 🌱


If you ever feel unsure, the booklet or app are the best places to check before putting bins out.
