Auckland Public Drop-Off Point
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.
