Dropoff down under: New Zealand facility spurs composting and recycling

Article Abstract:

Landfilling is the primary method for disposing solid waste in Auckland, New Zealand. However, the shortage in landfill areas has encouraged entrepreneurs and local government officials in Auckland to launch into campaigns in recycling. A multimaterial recycling center was built which serves as dropoff for recyclable garbage such as glass bottles and jars, tin and aluminum cans, plastic bottles and other materials. Biogenic wastes are separated by garbage collectors and converted into bagged compost and topsoil which are sold at the recycling center.
