Price Changes

Depending on your service and location, from 1 January 2025, your waste and recycling charges may increase to reflect current operating costs and our continuing investment into sustainable, best practice waste solutions. 

Why are prices increasing?

Inflation and costs across our supply chain mean we need to increase prices from 1 January 2025. We’ve tried to keep prices as low as possible, while still delivering reliable and sustainable services.

Investing in sustainable waste and recycling​

In 2023, we collected 73,285 tonnes of recycling. Around 70% of plastics were processed within New Zealand. When local recycling isn’t possible, materials are sent to trusted offshore partners with whom we have longstanding relationships.

To learn more about where your recycling goes, read our detailed Recycling Destinations report.

Over the past three years, we reduced greenhouse gas emissions from our operations by 8%, from 58,744 tCO2e in 2020 to 47,006 tCO2e in 2023.

Since 89% of operational emissions are tied to diesel, we are electrifying our diesel fleet and investing in hybrid yellow gear to further cut emissions.

In 2023, 79% of our employees said they feel comfortable being themselves at work.

Our continued focus on workplace inclusivity is reflected in our gender pay gap, which stands at 1.8%—well below the national average and a step toward greater equity.

At the start of 2023, our teams supported Auckland during the Anniversary Weekend floods and the North Island after Cyclone Gabrielle.

We helped with clean-ups, removed damaged items, delivered FlexiBins to the East Coast, and prioritized aged care homes, supermarkets, and essential services.

Across Aotearoa, over 300 old dumps risk spilling into waterways. We are involved in remediation efforts, including partnering with Waitaki District Council to prevent three coastal tips from collapsing into the sea.

Our work stops waste from contaminating vital marine and freshwater ecosystems.

Investing in our Circular Economy

We are creating more circular solutions for your reusable materials through our new Circular Services division. 

To find out more about our circular investments for your future, click here.

To help recycle large plastic items, we’ve invested in Te Taniwha o te Kai Kirihou, our plastic-eating monster. It processes items like wheelie bins and pallets, turning them into chips for recycling—a first for New Zealand.

If you have building and construction waste, talk to us about our material recovery facilities, which we’re extending to make recovering B&C materials easier. Working with Aliaxis (Marley), we collect uPVC and PE piping for remanufacturing.

If waste must go to landfill, rest assured our innovation and investment in landfill and energy parks ensures New Zealand uses some of the world’s best technology. We stop greenhouse gas from entering the atmosphere and convert over 95% of landfill gas into renewable energy.
