East Tāmaki Refuse Transfer Station is a waste disposal site at 33 Neales Road in East Tāmaki, Auckland, run by Waste Disposal Services, a joint venture between Auckland Council and Waste Management NZ. It takes general waste, green waste, tyres and restricted waste, with hazardous waste such as paints, chemicals, oils, asbestos and fibrolite on a restricted list. Bulky waste needs to be enquired about with the site first, and liquid, dusty or smelly loads, and car bodies, are not accepted.
Fees are charged per load, with a charge by weight band. Green waste must be 100% approved garden waste, with no flax, bamboo or branches over 100mm across. The site is open Monday to Friday from 7am to 4pm. Payment is by EFTPOS or credit card, and cash and cheques are not accepted. Staff do not unload vehicles, and customers must follow site instructions. Used tyres can be dropped off for free recycling under the Tyrewise programme. Our pick in East Tāmaki for convenient household waste disposal.
