Litter

Council cleans up litter around the city’s streets and parks on a regular basis. There are 700 rubbish bins that are emptied regularly. Council also cleans up one off ‘dumpings’ of rubbish.

If you find any illegally dumped rubbish contact Tauranga City Council on 07 577 7000.

Abandoned Vehicles

Abandoned vehicles are managed so that they do not become a public nuisance. Vehicles include cars, trailers, utes, vans, motorcycles. A sticker will be placed on the vehicle to advise that it must be moved within 7 working days or it will be towed by a Council Contractor.

We collect them from public roads, parks and reserves - not from private property.

Please ensure that when you wish to make a complaint for an abandoned vehicle that you have the following information:

• where is the vehicle located?
• how long has it been there?
• description of the car and is it driveable?
• does it have a current Registration and Warrant of Fitness?
• Licence Plate number

Phone Tauranga City Council on 07 577 7000 and they can arrange removal.
