If you live in the Waitākere Ranges Local Board area, you can dispose of invasive weeds free of charge and help prevent pest plants from spreading into the native bush we love.
Help us keep everyone safe – COVID-19 update

Weed bin map
Please respect these bins – they’re here for invasive weeds only. When illegal dumping happens, we have to pay for rubbish to be removed. That makes this service more expensive and less viable for everyone.
We do not accept bamboo, large branches or tree trunks, palm trees, cabbage trees, general garden waste and weeds around kauri trees (to prevent the spread of kauri dieback disease).
Thanks to the Waitākere Ranges Local Board for funding this service.
