Horowhenua District Council provides six permanent recycling stations in Tokomaru, Ōpiki, Foxton, Shannon, Waitārere Beach and Levin and two summer recycling stations at Waikawa Beach and Foxton Beach.
Waste Transfer Stations are provided in Foxton and Shannon. Levin Transfer Station is a privately operated facility, and Council does not own or operate this transfer station.
Card payments only
Cash is no longer accepted at the council-run waste transfer stations at Foxton and Shannon. You’ll still be able to pay using EFTPOS.
This move brings us into line with many other transfer stations, including the privately-run one in Levin.
Recycling stations are located at most towns in the district where materials may be deposited for recycling.
