Te kohinga o ngā rukenga kai

Food scraps collections

Give us your rukenga kai and we will turn them into clean energy and liquid fertiliser to grow more kai.

Just put them into your food scraps bin and we will collect them weekly on your council collection day.

We are aiming for zero waste by 2040 and keeping your food scraps out of the rubbish is a great way you can help.

Check online if your property is in a collection area and if you will receive a food scraps bin.

You can also sign up for reminders about when your food scraps bin will be delivered and when collections start in your area.
