Zero Waste: Central Otago WasteBusters

Central Otago WasteBusters is a Community Group set up in April 2000 as an Incorporated Society with a board of 10 volunteer members.

Central Otago WasteBusters Inc. aims to implement the District’s Zero Waste policy over the next 15 years, but also aims to achieve as close to zero waste as practicable in a much shorter time frame.

This will involve reducing the waste flow to landfill, reusing materials, recycling materials, recovering materials, treating materials and only disposing of those materials to landfill for which there is no known technology or systems available. Other objectives of the Society are:

• Job creation
• Training and community education
• Research into strategies to solve problem waste which is currently deemed to be unmanageable and therefore goes to landfill. This work needs to be ongoing if solutions are to be found so that true zero waste can be achieved.
