Zero Waste / Para Kore
A zero waste world is one where resources are valued and nothing is wasted. Northcote residents and businesses have the potential to lead the way in protecting Papatūānuku and inspiring others to reach the goal of a zero waste Auckland by 2040.
Visit Zero Waste Hub: 26 Pearn Place, Northcote
Open every THURSDAY, FRIDAY and SATURDAY, 10am - 2pm.
Pop in with questions on how to reduce waste, make sustainable choices and keep things in use for longer. We run workshops, events and are open for a chat to:
- Show you how to recycle, compost and repair.
- Offer easy zero waste tips.
- Answer zero waste questions.

We are looking for volunteers to have the hub regularly open. If you are interested, please email Robyn at [email protected] or follow THIS LINK to sign up or ask questions about volunteering.
We recycle many odd bits. Welcome to drop them off when we're open.

Your curtains will be cleaned, adjusted and provided to families who need them to help keep their home warm. Please note we cannot take blinds – roman blinds or venetian blinds.

- Oral care packaging, including toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes.
