Make Flatting Sustainable with Dunedin’s Recycling Rules

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle - the three R's. They can be confusing and hard to understand when you just want to know if you can throw your tea bag in the compost bin or not. Download a copy of our rubbish guide to stick on your fridge at the flat.

Sustainability is at the heart of Flat-Tak, but we know keeping track of waste rules while living in a shared house isn't always straightforward. The classic "three R's"—Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle—can get confusing fast when you just want to figure out if your tea bag can actually go into the compost bin.

To take the guesswork out of waste management, we’ve put together a simple Dunedin City Council (DCC) rubbish resource for your flat.

What You Can Do:

  • Grab the Printable Guide: Download our quick reference guide and pin it straight to your fridge so everyone in the flat is on the same page.

  • Check DCC Guidelines: Access the official Dunedin City Council rubbish and recycling rules to clear up any doubts about item sorting.

  • Never Miss Collection Day: Use the collection lookup link to double-check which days your bins need to go out to the curb.

Keeping your flat green doesn't have to be complicated—grab your guide, stick it up on the fridge, and make sorting rubbish effortless for the whole household!
