We’re talking tyres, paint, and agricultural chemicals — the items that aren’t always easy to dispose of.
Recently featured in The Post, this innovative business is showing how waste can be transformed into opportunity, turning what we throw away into products.
But this raises a bigger question: how do we get our waste to the right people — the ones doing the right things with it?
♻️ Do you think Auckland Council is doing enough to help households safely dispose of hard-to-recycle waste and get it back into the supply chain?
We’d love to hear your thoughts.
When you sign up to an independent apartment or townhouse at a participating Ryman village by 28 February 2026, you won't pay your weekly fee until 2028*. And because life at Ryman means no home upkeep, you'll have more time for the things you love.
