Para Kore - Zero Waste Hub Northcote
Come and visit us at 47 Pearn Place, Northcote

We launched the Zero Waste Hub in the Northcote Town Centre! The hub was officially opened by Northcote MP, Shanan Halbert. We're at 47 Pearn Place in the corner building marked by a beautiful Te Ara Awataha mural. The hub will be delivering zero waste workshops and events, and work with the community on our journey to reduce waste. Join our Facebook group to keep up to date.

Open every Thursday and Saturday, 10am - 2pm, this amazing project is supported by Kaipātiki Local Board, Eke Panuku Development Auckland and the Auckland Council Waste Minimisation team. 

 

We are looking for volunteers to have the hub regularly open. If you are interested, please email Robyn at zerowaste@kaipatiki.org.nz.
