The power of a name!

Over 180 naming competition entries received in four weeks – what a strong indication of the connection our community already feels to the Mercury Bay Resource Recovery Centre!

Based at the new Refuse Transfer Station (RTS) on Moewai Road, Whitianga, the centre is on track for opening in March 2023. Once operational, volunteers and staff will work to reduce the volume of reusable and recyclable products sent to landfill. A drop-off centre will be integrated into the new RTS, providing the public with the option of off-loading goods before the RTS weighbridge. Recovered products will then be offered for sale to the public through a shop, which may be accessed via Moewai Road.
