Auckland Public Drop-Off Point

cardboard recycling bin at auckland dropoff

Drop off your recycling today!

Reclaim offers a drop-off point for members of the public to unload readily recyclable material in an environmentally sustainable way.This drop-off point follows source separation principles, whereby waste is separated at source by material type before any processing occurs. This method helps to maintain material integrity and keep contamination to a minimum, so that Reclaim can make sure any items dropped off are recycled.The Public Drop-Off Area is located at 218 Station Road, Penrose, down the drive to the left. It is open Monday-Friday 6:30am to 4:00pm and is closed on public holidays and weekends.

For January, February and March our Public Drop Off in Auckland will also be open on Saturdays between 6.30am and 12pm.

Please see the drop-off guidelines for more information.
