Te Awa Ora Trust

We had our Neat Street Event in Rosemary Lane yesterday, THANK YOU to our team for all your hard work and showing up despite the wet weather we had. Brendon and Sheree from Scrap Metal Collecting, Mel & Pati from Kainga Ora and our Te Awa Ora Trust Team

We were able to visit most households removing their unwanted rubbish on their property sorting, diverting and recycling as much of it as we could. We had our awesome waste master Berry Setu Meredith sorting piles of cardboard, polystyrene, recyclables, metal, good furniture, clothing and toys.

Prior to this event we had visited a week earlier to collect 622kgs worth of metal items

Ngāmihi to Manurewa Local Board for their funding and support. Thanks team, amazing effort! 💪

New Zealand generates double the global average of rubbish, report says A waste reduction advocate says New Zealand is lagging behind in waste reduction.

Following on from our first post in January, we’ll be sharing more helpful updates as part of our new Manurewa Trolley Recovery Initiative.
Today's post is all about: Why abandoned trolleys are an issue — and how you can report them so they can be collected. Note that the contact details in the update are for Pak'n Save Clendon trolleys only. We intend to provide updates regarding Woolworths, New World, other Pak"SAVE stores and The Warehouse in due course.
Thankyou to everyone who continue to care for our community.
