Electrical items recycling

In conjunction with EnviroNZ, Westland District Council is launching a trial to accept used electrical items for potential resale at the Hokitika Transfer Station’s Magpies Nest re-use shop, located at 84 Hau Hau Road in Hokitika.

To be recycled into the Magpies Nest, the items should still be fit for purpose and in working order. On receipt, a staff member will test that the item is operational before it can be accepted. The item will then have an electrical test and will be tagged for sale at an affordable price and can be viewed at the Magpies Nest shop.

Any end-of-life items that are not in working order will continue to be recycled as scrap where possible.

There are multiple benefits to getting these appliances in the recycling loop, such as environmental sustainability, reducing waste to landfill and increasing the goods available to the Magpie Shop users.

Electrical items will only be accepted at the Hokitika Transfer Station from 1 July 2023 and are subject to condition assessment.
