Keep supporting recycling in Clinton

Clinton has been doing a great job with recycling, and we want to keep that positive momentum going.

The Clinton Transfer Station has received its first strike warning for contamination, so now is a good time for everyone to take a little extra care when dropping off recycling.

Our transfer stations are there to make recycling easier for everyone, and with the community’s help, we can keep this service available and working well.

Please help us avoid any further contamination by only dropping off accepted household recycling items and making sure everything is clean, empty and sorted correctly.

Residents can drop off clean paper, cardboard, plastics grades 1, 2 and 5, aluminium cans and tin cans at the five sites. Glass and plastic lids are not accepted.

We know many Clutha residents are looking forward to glass recycling, and we are working through what this service could look like. However, it is unlikely to be available until 2027.

For now, the transfer stations at Clinton, Lawrence, Milton, Ōwaka and Tapanui do not accept glass and operate under a three-strike system.

If a station receives three strikes for contamination or misuse, it will have to close.

Clinton has been doing so well — let’s keep it up and work together to protect this service for the community.
