Hazardous & Special Waste Acceptance

Strict controls are exercised on the dumping of hazardous and special wastes.

Acceptance of hazardous waste and waste requiring special handling (includes asbestos, methamphetamine contaminated wastes, HAIL material, liquid wastes, medical waste, odourous waste, deep burial waste, etc.) requires a disposal manifest. Testing of waste and provision of test results may be required prior to approval of disposal manifests.

Contaminated soil can be disposed at our class 3 landfill subject to review of test results.

Please get in touch with us if you have liquid waste to dispose. Some liquid wastes may be disposed of at Beach Road Pump Station in Richmond, this requires an account with the Nelson Regional Sewerage Business Unit: www.nrsbu.govt.nz/contact-us
