Recycling

We receive, process, and sell as many recyclable items as we logistically can. Items that would usually be heading for landfill! 

Invercargill Recycling Drop Off

Recycle South currently hold a contract with the Invercargill City Council.

We process recycling from the curbside recycling pick-up for the Southland District Council, and the Invercargill City Council.

Once the recycling product is brought to our site, it is sorted into bales of each type of material. These bales are shipped out to various parts of the world to be repurposed. Each year we ship out thousands of metric tonnes of baled recycling materials!
