Rangitikei RiverWelcome to the Rangitikei District Council

The Rangitikei District comprises 4,500 square kilometres of mainly lush, rural land. It is a diverse district, ranging from the sand plains on the south coast - which stretch inland almost as far as Bulls - to the magnificent hill country of the upper Rangitikei.  (Image Copyright: Peter McDermott - 2006)

Waste Transfer Station Fees Increase

E-mail Print PDF

Due to the requirements of the Waste Minimisation Act 2008, fees at the Rangitikei Waste Transfer Stations will increase from 1 July 2009.

From 1 July 2009, the Waste Minimisation Act 2008 imposes a levy of $10 per tonne on waste disposed at a disposal facility. The purpose of this levy is to firstly raise revenue for promoting and achieving waste minimisation and secondly to highlight the cost waste disposal has on our environment, society and economy. 

The Act also provides instruction on how levy monies can be spent and distributed. A formula set out in the Act provides each Council a share which can only be spent on promoting and/or achieving waste minimisation in accordance with each Council's Waste Management and Minimisation Plan.

Rangitikei District Council is looking at using its share of the levys monies on continuing waste minimisation programmes in schools, improving greenwaste services in the District and refining current recycling process. There may also be the opportunity to look at glass recycling, a topic recently raised in a number of LTCCP submissions.

New signage advertising the new fees, and an explanation of the levy and Waste Minimisation Act 2008 will be up shortly at all Rangitikei Waste Transfer Stations.
