Approximately half of what Aucklanders send to landfill could be composted, with the food waste alone weighing in at 90,000 tonnes (the weight of 15,000 elephants!). The Compost Collective are on a mission to change this.

Food scraps and garden clippings are a valuable resource. When they end up in landfill, they lose all their nutrients and take decades to break down, compared to weeks in a compost pile. Breaking down in landfill also releases methane gas, a significant greenhouse gas that is 25 times more potent at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, as well as liquid that slowly filters through the landfill and finds its way into our water system. 


Whether you are starting your composting journey, or well on your way, we’re here to help you, with free workshops, tips and tricks, and plenty of resources. We can assist in choosing the right composting system for you and your whānau, and together keep our valuable resources out of landfill.
