New trucks for Wellington

New trucks for Wellington

Our rubbish and recycling trucks are workhorses and can collect up to 1,000 bins and bags a day. This year Enviro NZ is refurbishing the rubbish and recycling trucks used in its Wellington City Council kerbside collections.


By November the majority of the Enviro NZ trucks will have been repainted.


The trucks are brightly coloured and share great tips to help Wellington residents prepare their rubbish and recycling.


Council Team Leader Recycling and Rubbish Collection Tony Webster says the new trucks will hopefully catch Wellingtonians’ eyes and help share a few important messages.


“There are a few simple things that people can do when it comes to sorting rubbish that really helps divert waste from landfill, like giving things to be recycled a quick rinse and making sure you don’t squash them before they go in the bin or bag.”


Council Waste Minimisation Manager Jenny Elliott says anything that helps Wellingtonians to reduce how much waste goes to landfill is a big win.


“Education is really important, if people aren’t sure how to recycle it’s hard to do it well. The new designs will help remind people what to do.”


Enviro NZ’s Richard MacKenzie says the trucks are fitted with specialist technology and can take up to six tonnes of kerbside material.


“They’re equipped to handle Wellington’s narrow and hilly streets, while we go about our work delivering a safe and sustainable kerbside service.”


Richard says the new trucks are fitted with cameras and technology that give drivers a clear view of what’s happening outside the cab, allowing them to monitor what’s being collected and keep on top of any recycling contamination.


“I know our drivers are looking forward to showing off the new gear, so when you see our hardworking team out on your street, don’t be afraid to give them a quick wave."
