A refuse transfer station at 33 Neales Road in East Tamaki, Auckland, open Monday to Friday, 7am to 4pm. Loads are weighed at the weighbridge, and the station accepts general waste and approved garden waste. Staff do not help unload vehicles, and visitors must follow the instructions given by site staff.
Payment is by EFTPOS or credit card, and the site does not accept cash or cheques. General waste is charged per load, by weight band, for loads up to 400kg. Green waste must be a complete load of approved garden waste, with no flax, bamboo or branches more than 100mm in diameter. Mixed loads are charged at the general waste rate. Loads that are liquid, dusty or smelly, and car bodies, are restricted, and a restricted waste list is available from the weighbridge. Bulky waste should be checked with the site first.
Used tyres can be dropped off for free recycling under the Tyrewise programme, with conditions. The station is run by Waste Disposal Services, a joint venture between Auckland Council and WM New Zealand, which has managed the site since 1994. The phone may not be answered straight away during busy weighbridge times.
