About our collections
Low Cost Bins provides a comprehensive kerbside rubbish collection service with wheelie bins available throughout the greater Wellington Region, Kapiti, Horowhenua, Manawatu, Wairarapa and Wanganui. Recycling services are collected on the same day as your rubbish collection in most areas. You can check what day your rubbish and recycling will be collected by selecting your area.
If you have a wheelie bin rubbish service with us, we'll let you know if any changes are made to your collection days due to public holidays or other events by email, text or social media. To find out more about our wheelie bin services, please visit our wheelie bin page.
