Reclaim's Recycling Factory Tours Auckland Recycling Week 2026
Reclaim's Recycling Factory Tours are back!
As part of Recycling Week 2026, this educational recycling factory tour in Auckland gives you the opportunity to see commercial recycling in action and learn directly from the experts.
This year, New Zealand’s Recycling Week runs from 19–25 October 2026.
Recycling Week is a free annual campaign created by Reclaim designed to inspire Kiwis to reduce waste and recycle more effectively. Throughout the week, organisations (including schools, businesses, and corporates of all sizes) across New Zealand run activities, spark conversations, and inspire action within their teams and their communities - helping build a cleaner, more sustainable future for New Zealand.
The movement continues to grow year after year, with record numbers of organisations registering in 2025. Each new participant strengthens the impact, proving that meaningful change happens when we work together.
This year, New Zealand's Recycling Week takes place on 19 to 25 October 2026.
It's FREE!
Our Story
Reclaim's goal is to shift attitudes about waste. It should no longer be treated as rubbish and dismissed as worthless; it should be seen as a valuable resource. We want to ensure these resources are processed properly at dedicated recycling centres, rather than be buried in a landfill.
We specialise in providing recycling solutions specific to your business. All our services are tailored to achieve your business's waste reduction and sustainability goals. Reclaim provides regular collection services on a daily, weekly, fortnightly or an ‘on-demand’ collection basis. We also provide recycling guidance, advice and assurance.
Reclaim is serious about recycling.
Reclaim turns 50
For the last 50 years Reclaim has led New Zealand's commercial sector towards circularity and waste minimisation through diverting over 4 million tonnes of recyclable materials from landfills.
Keeping resources in circulation for longer reduces the demand for extraction of raw materials, saves on resource processing emissions and is overall kinder to the environment. Reclaim is proud to be serious about recycling and to have supported thousands of organisations in achieving waste minimisation success over the last 50 years.
