Rinse, Recycle, Repeat, and win!

12 October 2021

To promote the great strides that NZ is making in waste minimisation and recycling WasteMINZ and the Ministry for the Environment are giving NZ a chance to win big.

Create a piece of social media content to spread the message of Rinse, Recycle and Repeat and you or your nominated group could win a $25,000 cash prize thanks to WasteMINZ and the Ministry for the Environment.

On a national average, approximately 20% of all waste sent to the landfill could be recycled if we remember to wash our cans, bottles and jars before we put them in the recycling.

How it works:

Entries accepted between Monday 11 October and Friday 5 November. The winner will be announced the following week.

  • Post a piece of content to Facebook, Instagram, TicTok, or LinkedIn that shows how you make sure all your recycling is cleaned before it goes into the recycling bin.
  • Tag @RinseRecycleRepeatNZ in your post.
  • Tag / comment about a charity, community organisation, school or club in the body of your post to nominate them to receive the prize should the entry win.
  • Create as many entries as you like.
