The Thames-Coromandel District Council is advising that the additional summer rubbish and recycling collections will be finishing up next week.

The summer kerbside peak period collections which began on Boxing Day will wrap up on Saturday, February 13.

After this date, recylcing collections will return to the usual fortnightly pick up.

Council is also asking people who are planning to leave before their collection day to not put their rubbish on the street.

'Because animals and birds get into the bags and your rubbish and personal information will be strewn around the streets. Drop your official blue bags and recycling at any of our Refuse Transfer Stations at no extra charge.”

To make things even easier for people, council will be posting Kerbside collection information every day on their Facebook page until the middle of February.
