Got items too good to throw away - Donate to us!
Got items too good to throw away? Everything we collect stays right here in Mercury Bay – supporting our community, not being shipped away. Drop items off at our site by booking a time via our website below. We’ve also got a truck ready to collect from your home, whether it’s a few bits or a whole house load. Your generosity directly benefits your neighbours and our shared environment.

Upcoming Events
Mercury Bay Clean Up Event
The cleanup will begin at Buffalo Beach Reserve at 9:30am with a briefing. Volunteers will then head to assigned zones to gather as much rubbish as possible before returning for sorting and weighing. All collected waste will be properly disposed of, with data recorded to help identify problem areas and reduce future littering.
Participants are encouraged to bring:
Gloves
Buckets or reusable bags
Refillable water bottles
Friends, family, and enthusiasm
While the main Clean Up Day event will be based at Whitianga’s Buffalo Beach Reserve, Wāhi Tukurua is encouraging other Mercury Bay communities to get involved. If you’d like to run a local clean-up in your area, please contact event coordinator Tiffany Reed.
Event Details:
Saturday, September 20th
Buffalo Beach Reserve
9:30am – 11:30pm
