We'll be taking time out to remember those we've lost, give thanks for what we have, and look to the year ahead.

We'll be back to our usual hours on Saturday 🌟

Thanks for the reminder Ethically Kate - lids can't go in your council kerbside recycling bin but we can take them here at the Zero Waste Hub. Collect them at home in separate containers for
♻️ plastic
♻️ aluminium (eg w**e lids)
♻️ steel (lids from jars and b**r bottles)
Then there's no need to sort them when you drop them in 👏

We stock Ecostore handwash, dishwash and liquid laundry.

Putting your empty bottle in the recycling bin is better than landfill but even better is reusing it by refilling it over and over. It may not seem like much but all our small steps add up.

Never used our refill station before? Bring an empty bottle and our friendly staff can help.

What happens to your old tv's you bring in for recycling? E-Cycle dismantle them into the separate components, keeping as much as possible out of landfill 👏

What happens to your old TV at E-Cycle? 📺
We hand-dismantle TVs at one of our three warehouses, carefully separating the metals, cables and circuit boards for recycling. We even recover precious metals like gold, silver and copper from the electronics. It's a proper second life for your old tech - and it stays out of landfill. 🌍
Thanks for choosing responsible e-waste recycling! Visit us at www.e-cycle.co.nz

Placing used batteries in the rubbish bin can start fires, putting workers and facilities at risk.
🔋We take batteries and make sure they're correctly and safely disposed of.
