The Buller District is divided into three zones for recycling and refuse. Residents in zone one receive kerbside collection of rubbish and recycling. There is no kerbside collection in zones two and three.
Recycling is collected in Zone one. This covers Westport, the areas from Westport to the Mōkihinui Bridge, Westport to Punakaiki, Westport to Reefton including Blacks Point, and Reefton to Ikamatua.
Each eligible property has a 45 litre crate for glass recycling and a 240 litre wheelie bin for all other recycling. They are collected fortnightly. Refuse is collected weekly.
In zone one refuse and recycling are collected by Smart Environmental Limited, which also operates the Westport and Reefton Transfer Stations on behalf of Council.
For queries in relation to the transfer stations, contact Smart Environmental Limited, or phone 03 789 6427. Any other enquiries should go to Buller District Council.
