There are five open landfills in the Wellington region:  

  • Silverstream Landfill (Upper Hutt)
  • Southern Landfill (Wellington)
  • Spicers Landfill (Porirua)
  • T & T Landfill (Wellington)
  • Wainuiomata Landfill (Lower Hutt)

In addition to these open landfills there are a number of closed landfills and transfer stations throughout the region  

All landfills and transfer stations have a suite of resource consents with limits and conditions which they need to operate within. Our compliance team monitors all landfills. Information on two landfills of current interest to the wider public is available below: 

Spicer Landfill

If you’re having issues with odour from Spicer Landfill, please contact Porirua City Council.

Porirua City Council will forward complaints to us. More information can be found on their website.  Our duty officer will decide whether to attend the site based on: availability; proximity to the site; the number of calls; and if the weather conditions are conducive to odour.
