The main exception is the north of the district,significantly Tuakau, where residents are likely to use the Pukekohe Transfer Station (within the AucklandCouncil’s boundaries but only 10km away) rather than travelling to the Te Kauwhata Transfer Station (33 kmaway). This reduces the ability of the council to influence waste management in Tuakau beyond kerbsidecollection provision.While the Raglan facility has a strong focus on resource recovery, options for reuse, recovery and recycling aremore limited at other transfer stations potentially leading to landfill disposal of materials that are recovered atRaglan. As these transfer stations are provided under contract to the council, this is well within their ability toinfluence.2.3 Recycling and reprocessing facilitiesThere are a number of waste processing and recycling facilities that handle materials collected in the Waikatodistrict. There are also several major facilities in the Waikato district that process waste materials from outsidethe district. These are listed overleaf.Waikato District Council waste assessment 201117
