ReDiscover Hub / Education Centre
Information on free onsite and outreach waste minimisation and sustainability programmes for schools and community groups across the Selwyn District.
Based at the Pines Resource Recovery Park near Rolleston, the Reconnect Project is an innovative and ambitious project aimed at getting people thinking differently about waste materials, showcasing recovery of materials from the waste stream, and alternative options to landfill. A community hub incorporating waste diversion and minimisation, sustainability, inspiration to create a sense of excitement and passion for making meaningful change and a drive towards Ōhanga āmiomio - a circular economy.
The first stage of this project is complete and includes a relocated and expanded recycling and reusables drop-off area, under a canopy.
Our education centre is now open!
In early 2024 the reuse shop and salvaged materials yard will open.
We also plan to break ground on the first part of the garden hub during 2023.
Further planned stages include maker spaces, a multi-purpose waste hub and a landscape supplies yard.
