Waihemo Wastebusters - Palmerston recycling centre and reuse shop

Waihemo Wastebusters - Palmerston recycling centre and reuse shop Council doesn't provide a kerbside rubbish or recycling collection service in Waitaki, which is why they don't charge rates for these services.

We are a not-for profit community organisation that aims to divert items from landfill through our Recycling Centre and Reuse Shop in Palmerston, Otago, and through providing information and education. Rubbish and recycling services are instead provided by private contractors. Waihemo Wastebusters provides recycling services in Palmerston.
