Waste Policy

Papakura District Council is committed to reducing waste. The policy document which sets out waste reduction initiatives is the Waste Management Plan 2004. The Council provides services to easily reduce your waste by 65% through:

Create Your Eden - How to turn your food and garden waste into a valuable soil conditioner and fertilizer 

Kerbside Recycling

Working alongside schools to show the next generation how to live more sustainably

Working alongside commercial businesses in the Envirosmart™ programme by encouraging environmental compliance and waste minimisation where it saves on costs


What is waste?

Waste is made up of materials that people at home and work discard because they no longer need it. The Council collects almost 11,000 tonnes of waste every year. This does not include privately collected waste from businesses. Careful management is needed so its effect on the environment and human health is minimal.


Sustainable waste management

Council policy is to reduce, reuse, recycle and recover waste. Some disposal is necessary, but it is the last resort. The emphasis is on managing waste in more sustainable ways - conserving raw materials but still protecting the environment and public health. Products and services are increasingly designed with reuse or recycling in mind.


Envirosmart

The EnviroSmart programme focuses on improving the environmental performance of businesses. The Ministry for the Environment together with twenty-two councils in eight regions are sponsoring EnviroSmart. Telephone Council on 295 1301 to ask more about Envirosmart.
