Creative Coromandel is the central arts network for the Coromandel Peninsula
and the Hauraki rohe. We put the Arts first.
The Coromandel Peninsula is a vast, beautiful region filled with pockets of
stunning scenery, wild terrain and an abundance of talented creatives

In 2015, driven by the Thames-Coromandel arts sector, a District-wide arts strategy was created through consultation with artists, art leaders and arts groups, to develop, promote and sustain local artists and arts activities. In 2016 the Arts & Creative Industries Strategy was adopted by TCDC and an Advisory Board with representation from all five wards was formed to implement it.
Fast forward 5 years and this Advisory Board is now He Mana Toi Moehau Trust, commonly known as Creative Coromandel – an independent charitable trust, made up of visual artists, performing artists and arts leaders.
Our Board are all arts passionate local volunteers committed to advocating for and championing the arts in the Thames-Coromandel District and Hauraki rohe and our mahi is supported by two local paid part-time contractors.
Creative Coromandel is the central arts network for the Coromandel Peninsula

Know the Full Story

Under the new waste contract for TCDC, which is coming into effect September 1st 2023, all current kerbside recycling services (240 wheelie bin co mingled recycling and glass crate for bottles) remain the same, on a fortnightly collection

This current service has always been funded via your TCDC rates and that will remain the same.
What is changing is the following:
1/ The introduction of a 25 litre food waste bin collected weekly, which will also be funded via your TCDC rates.
2/ A new 140 litre wheelie bin for your general waste rubbish which will be only collected every fortnightly. What Council hasn’t told you, as of yet, is that this service will be “pay as you throw”, simply meaning, you will need to purchase a coupon or sticker (still to be determined by TCDC) at your local store or supermarket.
In other words if the bin is placed kerbside for collection and doesn’t have the approved sticker or coupon, your bin wont be emptied !!
So similar to the current blue bags which you are required to purchase at the local store, , you will be required to pay as you need with the Council s new 140 litre bin.
Every house within TCDC’s collection area will receive this bin whether you want it or not, however, as its not paid out of your rates and requires you to pay individually for each service (by way of a coupon or sticker) there is no requirement for you to use this service, if you don’t want to.
Should a 140 litre waste bin that is collected once a fortnight not suit your families needs, then look at the options available to you from us.
We offer a 120 litre or 240 litre wheelie bin and collections can be either weekly or fortnightly, plus we don’t have a messy coupon or sticker system to purchase at the local store, payments for our service are arranged to suit your budget, either 3 months, 6 months or 12 months pre paid..
All current Coastal Bins customers do not need to change to a Council service if they don’t want. You can simply put the new 140 Council bin to the side and continue with your Coastal Bin, the cost will be no different.
Council still has not advised what will be the costs of the coupon or sticker, so that will be very interesting and remember, not all TCDC ratepayers are within the Councils collection area.
Why would you limit your options, go to a trusted company who has constantly proven that customer service is our number one priority.
Give us a call on 0800 26 28 25,
We are “Truly Local”

If you are looking for more suitable rubbish collection services for your home or business give us a call.
Smart Environmental are offering more bin options
and the option of weekly or fortnightly services.
