How this recycling service helps

Separate stream setup

Set up recycling streams that suit the site and reduce confusion for residents, tenants, staff or customers.

Depot sorting

Recycling is returned to the West Auckland depot and sorted by the team before being sent to recycling partners, in New Zealand where possible.

Customer education

Support includes signage, contamination discussions, facility visits and practical advice for improving recycling behaviour.

Recycling options and related streams

Recycling support can cover the main collection stream and related waste streams, while customers who want more process proof can continue to Recycling Integrity or Facility Tours.
