A central objective of Ruapehu's Waste Management and Minimisation Strategy is to reduce as much as possible the amount of waste that is sent to landfill.
Council operates Resource Recovery Centres with reuse shopsat the Taumarunui and Ohakune Transfer Stations.
The Reuse Shops are a key part in enabling the reuse of items and diverting them from being sent to landfill in support of Council's Waste Management and Minimisation Plan and Zerowaste 2040 vision.
Think about what might be able to be recovered for reuse when packing your car, ute or trailer for a trip to the Transfer Station. You might be surprised at what the reuse shops can make use of.
Anything that is recovered reduces the cost of disposes of the residual waste. Revenue from the resuse shops is reinvested in their development and waste minimisation education.
