Arlen waste and resource recovery day

Event overview

Our community open day is a chance to take a look behind the scenes, meet the people who keep our waste and recycling services running, and learn more about how we’re working towards a cleaner, greener Arlen Hill.

There’ll be plenty happening throughout the day, with activities for the whole whānau. Whether you’re interested in recycling and waste reduction, want to find out more about our safer and greener streets programme, or are simply curious about what happens at the centre, everyone’s welcome.

Our teams will be on hand throughout the day to answer questions, share what they’re working on and show you around the site.
