Waste Resource Trust
The primary objective of the Waste Resource Trust] is to educate and inform residents, visitors, schools, community groups and local businesses on issues surrounding recycling and waste management on Waiheke Island and to offer advice and practical solutions.
The end result is to reduce the amount of waste we send back to Auckland landfills.
The Waste Resource Trust is affiliated with Clean Stream Waiheke, a community-based organisation which in the early 2000s won the rubbish collection and recycling contracts on the island, formerly held by Waste Management Ltd. Among the trustees is one of the doyens of Waiheke politics, Gordon Hodson.
Each year the Waste Resource Trust organises Junk to Funk, Waiheke's annual wearable arts show that makes recycling its centrepiece theme.
