C & D (construction and demolition) Landfill is located approximately 7 km's to the south of Wellington city, within the Wellington City Councils' Careys Gulley landfill precinct. Its operation comprises and covers two gully's', located above the Wellington City Council landfill off Landfill Road.^[1]

The C & D landfill's current (first) site covers approximately 7.7 hectares, and this first gully is now full and this site can no longer take any more waste. The second gully, covering approximately 13.1 hectares, was granted Resource Consent to take approximately 6.3 million cubic meters of waste (clean fill/dirt/soil/ and construction and demolition waste and fill - non hazardous building waste). The expectation is that this gully would operate for up to 35 years, the expected time it would take to fill under normal operations.

The C & D Landfill was sold to a new operator, Halverson Civil Limited, in August 2024. It is expected that after remediation work of the first gully and preparation work for commencement of activity in the second gully, operations would start in late 2025/2026.

The Careys Gully precinct contains the city's three current landfills. First is the main - 100% publically owned and operated Southern Landfill / Careys Gully. Second is the C & D Landfill, operation wholly on public land. Thirdly is the T and T privately owned and operating building waste landfill operating on some council land and mostly privately owned land.^[2]
