The Waitaki Resource Recovery Park is a Community-owned enterprise run by the Waitaki Resource Recovery Trust established in 2003 with the intention to ‘optimise the amount of material diverted from landfill to beneficial uses through Community ownership of our resource streams’. We accept a full range of recyclable and resaleable items which are available for purchase in our ‘Get Sorted’ shop. We also accept domestic greenwaste which is converted to mulch and available for purchase at the Park. Materials which are unable to be reused or recycled are accepted at the Park and disposed of at the Oamaru transfer station. The Waitaki Resource Recovery Trust is primarily self-funded with supportive funding from the Waitaki District Council. We look forward to welcoming you to the Park and thank you for your support!

Recyclable Materials – $4
Re-saleable Items – No charge
Greenwaste (without grass) – $25 per cubic metre
Grass Clippings – $180 per cubic metre
