Ka ahatia e mātou ngā pararopi-kore What we do with inorganic items we collect

​Items and materials recovered through our inorganic collection service are provided to:

• local community recycling centres
• charities that have registered to receive items.

When items are collected on the property, they are less likely to be damaged and can be reused.

Find your nearest community recycling centre or visit them on Facebook.

•  Waiuku Zero Waste
•  Devonport Community Recycling Centre and Reuse Shop
•  Hibiscus Coast Zero Waste
•  The Helensville Community Recycling Centre

If you are a community recycler, an op shop, a demolition yard or someone who uses reusable materials in your activities, you can sign up to receive collected items.

For details, visit Zero Waste Network.

It is also worth getting in touch if you have a one-off project that could use free reusable materials. Examples of projects include:

• school building projects
• community gardens
• fundraising jumble sales.
