Reclaim Whangarei Recycling

Established in 1975 as Paper Reclaim, we rebranded as Reclaim in 2012 to reflect our broad range of services and our important position in the Auckland and Whangarei markets. We have enjoyed steady growth, becoming recognised as the market leader in the commercial collection and processing of cardboard, waste paper, glass bottles, plastic film and containers, aluminium and steel cans.

Reclaim is now the largest privately owned supplier of recyclable resources in New Zealand employing more than 120 people. We reclaim valuable resources from recyclable waste using a 5 Point Reclaim Loop. We separate recyclable products at source, then sort and distribute them properly to provide reprocessing manufacturers with refined quality recyclable materials.

The company has a fleet of more than 30 trucks and associated vehicles which enables the provision of regular collection services on a daily, weekly, fortnightly or an on-demand collection basis. On average, our collection trucks make 24,000 site visits per month. Reclaim operates three processing plants, two in Auckland and one in Whangarei. The head office is located in Penrose. Upon arrival at the processing plants, the various grades of materials are sorted to remove contaminants and then compacted into high-density bales. Reclaim handles in excess of 300 tonnes of recyclables per day. This material is recycled either locally or internationally back into new products.

Reclaim provides comprehensive services through its long term association with other recycling partners. We supply quality pre-sorted glass, organic waste, paper and cardboard materials to NZ manufacturers and export plastic, aluminium and paper to overseas manufacturers. We are committed to providing innovative, efficient and cost effective recycling solutions to meet the individual needs of all customers. Our sponsorship of recycle.co.nz (refer Facebook) for all New Zealanders reinforces our commitment to the well-being of future generations.
