Community Drop-Off Station

Community Collection Hubs are recycling stations that everyone can access to drop off items, at the Riverlution Eco Hub Collection Station, we have six different streams:

• Food Beverage Carton (i.e. tetra pak) can be dropped off inside the Riverlution Eco Hub during working hours ( they will need to be opened, cut along the top side and side of the carton, completely open the carton and rinse, leave the cap attached) 
• Aluminium:  Soft drink/beer cans
  & can tabs Wine bottle tops, Aluminium foil, Some cat food cans
  and lids
• Steel: Lids off jars, Beer bottle tops, Clean food cans (e.g.baked beans)
  Magnetic can tabs, Wine bottle cage tops
• Chip Packets and Foil in collaboration with the Chip Packet Project New Zealand
  (Make sure to rinse and dry them, as food residue attracts mice)
• Razors, blades (any brand)
• Toothpaste tubes and caps, floss containers, toothbrushes, mouthwash bottles (Colgate brand only)
• Plastic Number 2 & 5 (smaller than a yogurt pottle
  (cleaned thoroughly, remove stickers and inside seals  )
  The type of plastic we want are HDPE (small lids chasing arrows 2) and PP (large lids chasing arrows 5)

• We can no longer accept facemasks
• We can no longer collect writing instruments and bread tags
