What I Can and Cannot Recycle in Whāingaroa/Raglan
You can recycle almost everything but remember we should try to reduce, then reuse and then recycle. Check out the Collections page for more information.
Recycle When Out and About
Use the funky Love NZ recycling bins for all your plastic bottles (No.1 and 2) and cans.
Build a Worm Farm
You can download this worm composting guide or refer to our how to build a worm farm page. Or phone (07) 825 6509 or email us and we'll personally help you get your worm-farm up and running. We'll even sell you the worms!
Make Your Own Compost
Lots of good information here from Christchurch City Council. Contact us if you need some local know-how.
Find Xtreme Waste
Once in Raglan head west until you cross a one-lane bridge. After this bridge take the third left Te Hutewai Rd and continue up this road, past the Golf Course until on the right you will see a long driveway which takes you to The Raglan Recycing Centre and Transfer Station.
Recycling in Rural Areas
Xtreme Waste currently has two rural recycling containers operating at Te Mata and Te Uku. Drop-off your household recycling here. These containers take glass, cardboard, paper, tin cans, ali cans and plastics 1, 2 and 5 as well as clear film (bread bags and bubble wrap). Waikato District Council funds the servicing of these containers.
