Transfer station fees and charges

Changes to how garden waste is charged at Te Maunga Transfer Station

From 1 May 2025, if you only have garden waste inside your vehicle (cars, utes and SUVs - excluding trailers) you will pay a set charge of $17 when entering the transfer station. This replaces the current system where vehicles are weighed on entry and exit, and the difference in weight is charged.

There will be no change to the way trailer loads of garden waste are charged. Trailers will continue to be weighed on entry and exit, with payment made on leaving.

There will be no change to the way commercial customers are charged for garden waste.
