| Wanaka Wastebusters was set up by our community in 2000 with a mission to work towards zero waste. All our profits go back into the community. We employ 35 people and have a turnover of over $1 million. Wanaka Wastebusters is constantly evolving and expanding, sometimes it gets a bit crazy here but thats the way we like it. |

350 at Treble ConeComposting Turn Your Food Waste into a ResourceOn the Road RecyclingHere’s how On The Road Recycling works. A tourist visits an Otago i-SITE and picks up a free map showing all the recycling centres in Otago. They can also buy an On The Road recycling bag which costs $2.50. The visitors wash and squash their recycling on the go: glass, cans, plastics number 1-6, cardboard and paper. When the bag is full, they use the map to locate the nearest recycling centre, and drop their bag of recycling off. How easy is that! As a bonus, most of the recycling centres have great second-hand stores. For a full list of locations go to www.ontheroad.org.nz Education for Sustainability Wanaka Wastebusters' Simon Williams is funded by QLDC to provide support for all the schools. He facilitates the Enviroschools program to 6 schools in the district and delivers the Zero Waste Education packages to primary and intermediate age classes. He also has tools to help other schools and education centers become more sustainable. To help keep everyone up-to-date with his school activities, he has started a blog.
