Bis here. I’ve been running business recycling since 2006. My job is to make sure it all runs smoothly, keep our customers happy and stop any dramas before they start.
If you need a pick-up or want to start business recycling, give me a call on 443-8606 ext 5 or send an email to recycle@wanakawastebusters.co.nz.
The materials we recycle are glass, paper, cardboard, plastic containers 1-7, tin, steel, polystyrene, shrink-wrap and waste vegetable oil.
Three main options to start with:
Accommodation: Triple Bin Package
Ideal for guests at motels and apartments. Package consists of three clearly labelled wheelie bins: grey for glass, blue for plastic/ cans and red for paper/cardboard. Wanaka Wastebusters checks bins weekly or on request.
Special price: three bin pick-up for only $20 (excl GST)
Bars and Restaurants: Hospitality Package
Designed to handle high volumes of recycling behind the scenes. Package consists of a combination of wheelie bins (usually for glass) and fadges to handle bulk cardboard packaging and plastic containers. Wanaka Wastebusters checks the recycling station up to three times a week if needed.
Price: $10 per fadge or wheelie bin pick-up. (excl GST)
Offices and Small Business: Office Package
Suits offices and small businesses who mostly recycle paper and cardboard, with some mixed glass and plastics. We can provide you with clean green recycling sacks to deal with moderate amounts of recycling. Wanaka Wastebusters checks the recycling station weekly or on request.
Price: $10 per wheelie bin pick-up, $2 (plus GST) per green sack pick-up.
Any system can be tweaked with a unique combination of wheelie bins, fadges and green sacks to suit your business.
Drop Offs
Some businesses may find it convenient to drop off their own recycling. We can set up an account at the Wanaka Wastebusters shop for monthly invoicing. The drop off price is half the price of the standard pick-up costs, except glass which is full price.
The Wanaka Wastebusters recycling centre on the corner of Ballantyne Rd and Riverbank Rd is open 9am-4pm, seven days a week. Closed Christmas Day, Good Friday and ANZAC morning.
