Kaipara Refuse Ltd.

Kaipara waste collection is our mahi as the official contractor for kerbside rubbish & recycling for the Kaipara District

Since the mid 1990's, Kaipara Refuse has been serving the Kaipara community.

As the team in charge of Kaipara waste collection we collect household refuse and recycling from households and businesses across the Kaipara District several days a week, then we hand sort all recycling at our depot in Ruawai.

However, our story neither begins, nor ends with recycling or waste: our story is all about our very special team of people and providing our community with opportunities.
