The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) is leading New Zealand's response to H5 bird flu (H5N1). You can help protect our native birdlife and local poultry by knowing what to do. If you see three or more sick or dead wild birds together, please don't touch or move them. Report them to MPI and follow the latest advice.

Most households should only have one wheelie bin and one crate, additional crates will not be collected unless arranged prior. If you have a prior arrangement (such as using a second crate in place of a wheelie bin) and your crate is not being collected, please phone (06) 366 0999 or email enquiries@horowhenua.govt.nz
