Domestic Hazardous Waste Drop Off
There is no operational domestic hazardous waste drop off in Timaru District. As part of the Hazardous Waste Management Strategy it is proposed to install a domestic hazardous waste drop off at each of the transfer stations. These are not operational yet. However, the Council encourages all residents to take household chemicals to one of the four transfer stations.
