Following the severe weather this week, our teams have been working to clear fallen trees across the city. Parks have now been made safe, and clean-up efforts will resume on Monday.
Check when you need to put your rubbish and recycling out over the holidays and find out about opening hours at libraries and other Council facilities.
Palmerston North City Council is your official source of information if there is a local emergency. In an emergency, we will regularly update the news pages on this website, and our main Facebook page. We recommend you also listen to the radio.
