The Council is pleased to announce the introduction of new hazardous waste services which are now available for residents and businesses in the Queenstown Lakes District.

The new annual Hazardous Waste Amnesty will be held in May and will allow residents  and businesses of the Queenstown Lakes District to drop off their hazardous waste at the Frankton and Wanaka transfer stations where it will be sorted for safe recycling and disposal.

The new Zero Hazardous Waste Toolkit includes a  Zero Hazardous Waste guide and a directory of contacts and is intended to reduce the quantity of hazardous waste we produce, manage hazardous waste appropriately and divert hazardous waste from landfill.

Both the Toolkit and Amnesty are aimed at preventing hazardous from seriously and irrecoverably harming people, property and the environment.
