Mixed recycling simplifies waste management by allowing various recyclables to be placed in a single bin.
This service typically accepts PET clear bottles, HDPE clear and coloured bottles, PP bottles and containers, and steel and aluminium cans. Some regions also accept glass bottles and jars.
This approach streamlines recycling efforts and makes it easier for households and businesses to participate in recycling programs.
By consolidating multiple recyclables into one bin, it reduces the complexity and space needed for separate recycling bins, promoting a more efficient and eco-friendly waste management system across New Zealand.
We offer various solutions to store and recycle unwanted paper, making it useful again. Our wheelie bins can be easily moved to high-volume areas like printers, while convenient desktop or under-desk bins encourage staff to recycle immediately.
Mixed paper waste is sent to Hawk Packaging in Hastings and transformed into molded fruit trays. When local recycling isn't an option, we partner with reputable offshore companies to recycle mixed waste paper into products like school books and newsprint, promoting sustainable practices and reducing landfill waste.
Cardboard recycling is essential for managing bulky boxes that can quickly take up valuable space and pose safety hazards in loading areas. WM New Zealand provides solutions to contain and recycle cardboard waste effectively. By recycling cardboard, we reduce the risk of fire and prevent loose materials from blowing around on windy days.
Our service ensures that your cardboard waste is safely stored and transported to recycling facilities. Recycling cardboard not only helps conserve resources but also supports a cleaner and safer environment, promoting sustainability in both residential and commercial settings.
Plastic wrap recycling is crucial for managing LDPE clear soft plastics like pallet wraps and bubble wrap. WM New Zealand provides practical bin solutions and regular collections to keep your site tidy and safe. Our wheelie bins and large cages with lid options ensure that unruly plastic wraps are securely contained, preventing them from becoming hazards by blowing around the site.
This service not only promotes recycling but also helps maintain a safe and organised workspace. By recycling plastic wraps, we contribute to reducing plastic waste in landfills and support a circular economy.
Wood recycling focuses on recovering wooden offcuts and pallets, turning them into valuable compost and landscaping materials. WM New Zealand provides the right bins to store wood waste safely on-site, ensuring it is properly processed and recycled. By separating wood waste from general rubbish, we contribute to a circular economy, reducing landfill use and supporting sustainable resource management.
Our services ensure that wood waste is transformed into useful products, promoting environmental sustainability and reducing the need for new raw materials. Recycling wood waste helps businesses and communities manage waste responsibly and sustainably.

Polystyrene (EPS) recycling addresses the challenge of managing lightweight yet bulky waste that takes up significant space. WM New Zealand offers convenient drawstring bags and regular collection services to contain and recycle EPS effectively.
Although polystyrene is often used for protecting products, its disposal can be costly and messy if not properly managed. Our recycling service ensures that EPS is collected safely, reducing its environmental impact and freeing up valuable storage space. By recycling polystyrene, we help businesses minimise waste and support sustainable practices, turning bulky waste into valuable resources.
Metal recycling is vital for managing heavy, non-compactable materials like steel, aluminium, tin, copper, and brass offcuts. These materials should not go into general waste as they can be easily recycled if source-separated. WM New Zealand provides efficient metal recycling solutions, ensuring that your scrap metal is collected and processed responsibly.
Recycling metals conserves natural resources, reduces energy consumption, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions associated with metal production. Our service helps businesses and households contribute to a more sustainable environment by keeping valuable metals out of landfills and reintroducing them into the production cycle.
PVC and HDPE are major contributors to plastic waste in landfills, commonly used in construction, manufacturing, agriculture, and healthcare. Their environmental impact can be substantial if not managed properly. At WM New Zealand, we’re turning this challenge into an opportunity for sustainable change.
Through our partnership with PRNZ, a joint venture with Aliaxis Marley, we collect and transform PVC and HDPE pipe into granules for new pipe production, diverting plastic from landfills and reducing virgin plastic use.
In 2023, we collected 73,285 tonnes of recycling. For a snapshot of where it all went for processing, click here.
Each year, we collect over 1,000,000 tonnes of waste and recycle well over 200,000 tonnes. Learn more.
