Sixteen tonnes of 1080 has been trucked more than halfway up the country and dumped in a landfill in the small Rangitikei town of Marton.
The 1080 bait was water-damaged during recent flooding on the West Coast and taken to the Bonny Glen Landfill.
Anti-1080 groups are worried it could leach into surrounding land, but its disposal complies with environmental regulations.
RNZ's Charlotte Cook reports.
