FAQ
I live out of town, I won’t be able to put my bin back?
Taupōs ratepayers includes many who don’t permanently live in the district and we have heard from others that there are some practicalities for those ratepayers in terms of having bins returned to their property after collection.
At an additional cost, we can provide a put back service and can incorporate these into the detailed development of options for LTP consultation.
Will everyone have the same sized bins?
If Wheelie bins are selected through the decision-making process everyone would receive the same suite of bins initially. In the future, Council could look into whether there are options to provide smaller or larger bins to those who request them.
What if I am not able to physically put the bins out?
With the provision of a medical certificate and at an additional cost we can provide a bespoke service.
What if I live down a long private road or right of way?
Due to health and safety reasons, the service provider can collect only from public roads. There may be the ability for Council to investigate a solution.
