FREE Hazardous Waste Drop-Off!

♻️Get rid of your hazardous waste! Easy, quick, environmentally friendly, and FREE♻️ 🔍What is "hazardous waste"? 🔍 They are items or liquids that are flammable, toxic, corrosive, explosive or radioactive, which can be extremely harmful to people or pets if touched or swallowed. Hazardous waste can't be thrown away in the regular bin, recycling, or down a drain as it is harmful to the environment. 🤔Why drop off your hazardous waste?🤔 Correct disposal helps to protect our whaanau, tamariki, and taiao. Left unchecked, hazardous waste can leech into our soil and air and hurt the whenua, but we can responsibly recycle these chemicals through our partnerships with HazTech. We want Manurewa to be safe and beautiful for generations to come. So help us to help everyone by dropping off the hazardous waste you have hanging around the house for FREE.
