Inspiring a Composting Movement Across Auckland.
The Compost Collective is here to help Aucklanders on their composting journey, and to eliminate food scraps and garden waste from ending up in landfill in Tāmaki Makaurau, and instead being returned to nourish the land locally.
Our knowledgeable facilitators and composting experts will help you learn the basics, answer any composting questions you may have along your journey, as well as breaking down composting barriers and showing you how easy it can be.
We offer free workshops all over Tāmaki Makaurau, with all attendees receiving a coupon towards a composting system of your choice.
Making progress, one year at a time.
Every year, we measure our impact and track our progress in growing a composting movement.
Explore our annual reports to see how we’re reducing waste, building communities, and making a real difference.
Our Collaborators and Funders
Kaipātiki Project
Kaipātiki Project aims to create a totally sustainable Auckland.
Based on the North Shore, their mission is to help inspire sustainability through helping people with their environmental challenges, through connecting people to the environment, and each other, where they can take action to make a difference.
EcoMatters
EcoMatters is focused on building healthy environments together with the community.
Besides a drop in environment centre on-site in New Lynn, they provide information and services on a wide range of sustainability topics including waste minimisation, energy and water conservation, ecological restoration, freshwater quality and community gardening.
Auckland Council
The project was initiated through seed funding from the Auckland Council Waste Minimisation and Innovation Fund (WMIF).
Funding for subsidised compost systems offered on this site is provided through the Auckland Council compost programme budget.
