The Glenorchy inorganics collection is taking place on Saturday, 11th November from 10.00am to 2.00pm at the Glenorchy Rec Ground, on the corner of Oban and Mull Streets.

The purpose of the collection is to help take away unwanted large household items that can’t be accepted for collection in your kerbside recycling or rubbish wheelie bins. Unfortunately, we cannot accept all items – please refer to the event acceptance criteria. Through this event we are encouraging our Glenorchy community to keep items out of landfill to achieve our collective vision of becoming a zero waste and sustainable district.

There are lots of things you can do to keep inorganic items out of landfill. Consider donating, exchanging, selling, or repairing items before bringing them along to the collection. Besides local reuse stores, there are many websites and social media communities to sell or give away unwanted items as well as a few upcoming repair events within the district – keep an eye out for details of these events online here:Join the Repair Revolution with Wastebusters | Wastebusters

Any good quality and unbroken items that you can’t rehome before the collection will be made available to others on the day to take away or will go across to Wanaka Wastebusters for resale. Items like, whiteware and electronic waste, will be collected for recycling via our Frankton Transfer Station. Any items that can’t be donated or recycled, like mattresses, will be accepted but will be landfilled 

Please don’t bring anything you can’t carry by yourself. For information about how to dispose of other items we don’t collect, visithttps://www.qldc.govt.nz/services/rubbish-recycling/other-waste.
