The aim of the CRC is to reduce waste to landfill by reusing, re-purposing and recycling as much as possible. The CRC is responsible for all recycling on the island. Aotea Community Recycling Centre is where you can drop off unwanted items and materials suitable for reuse and recycling. The centre has a shop on site which sells reuseable household and building materials. Anamata Community Enterprise, contracted to operate the CRC, transports recyclables off-island for further processing and explores on-island uses for materials.
