2.0 Mission
We're about action.
Aotearoa’s first Māori and Pasifika-led community recycling centre, but we are much more than a place to drop off recycling. We are a hub for connection, restoration, and innovation.
Born from a partnership between Synergy Projects Community Trust and Localised, our roots run deep in Onehunga, aka the 312.
We operate on land that tells a story of transformation, once a fishing ground, then a landfill, and now a place of healing for the whenua and our people.
Our mission is to restore the vital connection between our community and the environment.
3.0 Services
We value service.
4.0 Drop-Off Estimator
Pricing made simple.
Our online estimator is a helpful guide, but final pricing is confirmed after we assess your items at drop-off.
We try our very best to accept every donation, however we are a small team! In some cases, we get inundated with materials, which we may turn away donations occasionally.
Want to save some cash? You can lock in a lower disposal rate by making sure your items are clean and sorted beforehand!
Please note: If you don't see your item listed here, we generally cannot accept it. If you're unsure or have any questions, feel free to reach out to our team.
“Being Māori Pasifika, we come from the land, we’re always taught from day one to look after that – to be kaitiaki for the land.”
- Our late co-founder and OG, Ron Muavae
