Community Recycling News:

Soft Plastics Recycling!

After inviting public feedback from the Warkworth community on what recycling initiatives they would like to see offered in their community, Northland Waste is proud to bring Soft Plastic Recycling to Warkworth Re:Sort Resouce Recovery Park.

It is completely FREE to recycle your soft plastics at Re:Sort Warkworth, along with any other household commodity recycling such as glass, plastic bottles, tin and aluminium cans, and cardboard.

Re:Fuel Your Woodwaste!

Our new Re:Fuel scheme is working to divert wood waste from Landfills and repurpose it as a source of biofuel.

In partnerships with local businesses, we have implemented wood waste bins/bags to separate wood waste from the general waste stream. Once separated, the wood is chipped at our Whangarei site before being transferred and used as a biofuel product.

If you're a local business that would like to get behind this awesome initiative give us a call on 09 425 8567 or email us at sales@northlandwaste.co.nz

Education In The Community

Educating the next generation on all things waste and recycling can play a vital role in creating a sustainable future for our community. That’s why Northland Waste have set out an education day for local schools who wish to visit the Warkworth Resource Recovery Park to further their sustainability modules in the classroom.

Northland Waste project manager April Peter said that instead of a standard educational tour of the site, staff decided to make things more fun and hands-on, with a range of practical activities including a plastics recycling race, building a mini-landfill and deconstructing scrap metal objects.

For further information or to arrange a time for your school to visit, please contact Rob Lambert by email: rob.lambert@northlandwaste.co.nz
