Organic green and food waste collection - Ōkāreka and Mamaku
Consultation for Mamaku and Ōkāreka residents has now closed
Mamaku and Ōkāreka will not be included in a new food organic and green organic waste collection service following consultation with residents.
We asked property owners in those areas if they wanted to be included in the new service or retain the status quo of a weekly household rubbish collection with no organic food and green waste collection.
We received 342 responses, a return rate of 57%, with the majority wanted to retain the status quo.
Thank you to those who completed the survey. All property owners will receive a letter via post and/or email, confirming the results.
Rotorua Lakes Council would like to know whether or not Ōkāreka and Mamaku residents would like a food organic and green organic (FOGO) waste collection service. Ōkāreka and Mamaku residents should have received a letter in the post or an email.

Before the new collection service starts in July 2026, Council wants to confirm the views of the Mamaku and Ōkāreka communities about whether they wish to have either:
a weekly food and green waste collection and a fortnightly household rubbish collection; or
want to retain the status quo of a weekly household rubbish collection with no organic food and green waste collection.
Council is asking Mamaku and Ōkāreka residents to indicate their preference, so final decisions can be made. Please indicate your preference, by completing the survey.
