A newly discovered illegal rubbish dumping site on the outskirts of Greytown has sparked concern for the Council. 

“Dumping waste like this not only damages our natural surroundings but also undermines the efforts of the entire community to keep our community clean and safe,” says Mandy De Ritter, Lead Advisor, Resource Recovery & Waste.

The Council provides a range of public facilities for rubbish and recycling, including transfer stations and scheduled curbside collections. These services are designed to make waste disposal easy, safe and environmentally sound.

The Council is investigating the incident and urges anyone with information to come forward. 

In the meantime, the Council calls on all residents to do their part – please dispose of waste legally, use designated facilities and report any suspicious dumping activity.

Let’s keep South Wairarapa beautiful—together.
