Waste wise - EcoDepots
Styx Mill, Parkhouse Road and Bromley Refuse Stations are no more. Instead, EcoDepots have become part of the Christchurch community focusing on reuse, recycling and recovery instead of landfilling. Residual Christchurch household rubbish that cannot be reused, recycled or recovered is transferred from the EcoDepots to burial in Kate Valley Landfill. The EcoDepots are operated by Meta NZ, a charitable operational company established by not-for-profit trust TerraNova to achieve practical and sustainable waste minimisation in Canterbury. The EcoDepots' new focus will forge the way ahead in reducing the burden on landfills.

EcoDepots focusing on reuse, recycling and recovery

Re-affirming the EcoDepots' desire to reuse, recycle and recover, the Resene PaintWise paint and paint packaging recovery programme services the EcoDepots and processes paint returns through the Resene PaintWise service to minimise paint wastes going to landfill. This is in addition to the extensive network of Resene ColorShops in the region that take paint returns.

Matching the desire to reduce the environmental burden, an Environmental Choice approved paint system was selected for the exterior makeover. The weathered acrylic paint system over a combination of concrete block, galvanised steel COLORSTEEL® cladding, stained weatherboards and CFC Sheeting required rigorous cleaning to provide a sound surface that was then spot primed and finished in two coats of Resene Hi-Glo gloss acrylic tinted to new EcoDepot colours.

Gleaming in their fresh new coats, the EcoDepots offer hope that sending waste to landfill will truly be a last resort.
