Wastebusters at the Bigbuzz Festival, Matakana School

What a great day out the Bigbuzz Festival was last Sunday!  And so lucky to get it in just before Level 3 lockdown on Sunday night!  Huge thanks to Grass, Isabella and their team for pulling off this fantastic community event.

We want to say a big thank you to the Wastebusters volunteers who supervised the waste stations and helped the festival goers to know what was compostable, what was recyclable and what was landfill waste.  Happily the vast majority of waste was compostable, although sadly we weren't able to weigh it due to lockdown.  But we estimate approx. 90% was either compostable or recyclable.  Well done team!

​We also had an information tent showing lots of alternatives to single use products.  And we were showing off 2 bags of our new compost, made on site at our Lawrie Road Recycling Centre.
