Motor homes and caravans are a popular way for visitors to see our district. There are plenty of places in the district for visitors to stay the night or for a few days.

We ask that visitors travelling in motor homes dispose of their wastewater responsibly by visiting a dump station. Dump Stations are small facilities that are connected to the reticulated sewerage system, and help to protect the environment by ensuring waste from motor homes is disposed of correctly.

Council provides two dump stations in the Matamata-Piako District. They are located at:

• Te Aroha - Te Aroha Public Wharf, Terminus Street
• Matamata - Hetana Street Reserve, Hetana Street

A third dump station is planned to be installed at the Morrinsville Recreation Grounds during 2010.

If you are travelling further than just through the Matamata-Piako District, the Ministry of Tourism publishes a guide that lists the locations of dump stations for black & grey waste water all around New Zealand. Click here to access this guide online
