The compactor at the Resource Recovery Centre will be out of service from 10 March 2025 for about two weeks. We’ll still be open, but refuse will need to be placed into open bins, which might cause some delays when dropping off loads. If you can, please use the Richmond Resource Recovery Centre during this time to help keep things running smoothly.
We apologise for any inconvenience this might cause and thank you for your patience while the repairs are completed.
Address: Robinson Road, Lower Moutere 7175

When you come to get rid of waste we'll work out how much you need to pay, based on the weight of the load you’re dumping.
Your load is weighed as you enter the site, then you offload your waste then return to the weighbridge and kiosk to pay – this creates a more accurate way of charging for what’s being dumped.
If you have a mixed load which includes recyclables, you’ll need to leave the recycling until the end and then take those items over to the recycling area after you’ve finally weighed and paid – this means you won’t get charged for them.
