RECYCLING INTEGRITY

What actually happens to your recycling?

Our approach to recycling integrity is simple: your recycling is collected, brought back to our West Auckland depot and sorted by our team. Customers can visit our facility to see the process first hand and ask any questions they might have.

Recycling integrity through a visible process

Recycling can be difficult to judge from the outside. Rubbish Direct makes the process easier to understand by showing how recyclables are collected, brought back to our depot, sorted and prepared for the next stage.

1

Collected separately

Recycling is collected as a separate service stream.

2

Returned to the depot

Come and see it

A facility tour gives customers a clear view of the sort line, materials, contamination examples and the people handling the work. It is especially helpful for organisations with recycling targets, sustainability reporting or building-user education needs.
