Recycle & Minimise Waste
The Waitaki Resource Recovery Trust is a Community owned enterprise which was established 7 years ago with the intention to,
‘optimise the amount of material diverted from landfill to beneficial uses through Community ownership of our resource streams’.
We accept a full range of recyclables (see ‘Recycling’) and resale items (see ‘Get Sorted’ shop) which are available on our ‘Get Sorted’ shop.
Materials which are unable to be reused or recycled are accepted and disposed of at the Oamaru Landfill.
We also accept domestic greenwaste (see Greenwaste) which is converted to mulch and available for purchase at the Park.
The Waitaki Resource Recovery Trust is predominantly self funded with supportive funding from the Waitaki District Council.
Last year (2009) we diverted 2395 tonnes of material from landfill. This amounts to 74% of volume arriving at the Park.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Park.
