Mahurangi Wastebusters is focused on reducing, repairing, reusing and recycling as much as possible for the benefit of our people and our environment.
We're based in north Rodney, Auckland with refuse and recycling centres at 55 Lawrie Road, Snells Beach and 141 Rustybrook Road, Wellsford.
We provide rubbish and green waste disposal for residential and small business customers. We also accept scrap metal and recyclables that can be re-manufactured or re-purposed sustainably, and we have small shops at both locations where you can buy pre-loved goods at bargain prices ('Mahu Mall' at Lawrie Rd Community Recycling Centre is closed until stage 2 of redevelopments are complete).
We offer zero waste education and support waste minimisation activities across the region.
Hazardous waste, clean or hard fill and vehicles over four tonnes are not permitted.

- 65% in 2021
- rising to 70% by 2022
