📣 IMPORTANT UPDATE 📣

We’re making some changes at the Waipapa Recycling site to prepare for construction of our new recycling sort shed. This means the layout of the site will be different when we reopen on Saturday.

Please take extra care when visiting, follow staff directions, and allow a little more time than usual. Our team will be working hard to keep things moving safely.

🔧 Why the change?
Contractors need access to the current recycling area so construction can begin. These temporary adjustments will help us stay operational throughout the build. It may take a little time to get used to the new layout, but the improvements will be worth it.

📣 Additional update:
Due to last‑minute changes from Far North District Council, the Waipapa Transfer Station along with all other wider transfer stations will now be open on Good Friday to support ongoing flood‑damage clean‑up efforts in the area.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and kindness toward our staff during this transition.

💙 Trish & Nare - Oakura’s local heroes

While Oakura has been dealing with flooding, two of our own Trish and her son Nare have been right at the heart of the response.

As operators at the Oakura Transfer Station, they’ve kept the site open, helped manage free flood disposal provided by Whangarei District Council, and coordinated the hook bins being used to clear damaged material from around the community.

They’ve even delayed clearing their own flood-damaged homes so they could keep helping others and after being evacuated yesterday, they’ve chosen to stay close to the station so they can be back helping again tomorrow.

Since Monday, more than 10 tonnes of flood-damaged material has already been removed from Oakura. Thanks to their dedication and the wider team working through tough conditions.

If you’ve heard Trish on RNZ yesterday, you’ll know how deeply she cares about this community. We couldn’t be prouder.

The small Northland town of Ōakura has been hit hard by severe weather striking New Zealand's North Island. | Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/RNZVideo?sub...
