Rethink - Refuse - Reduce - Reuse - Recycle
Aluminium Can Tabs &
Aluminium Wine Bottle Caps
'Kan Tabs for Kids' goes towards supporting the families of children on dialysis, and is the largest nationwide Lions Club project. The tabs and caps are collected in their thousands, and packaged before being sent to metal merchants for weighing and payment. A single cap works out to the equivalent of one second on dialysis.
Metal Recycling
Beer Bottle Caps
Beer bottle caps can be recycled for scrap metal and made in to new products. Awesome!
Used Good Nature Gas Canisters
These are made of recycled and recyclable steel. Picton Dawn Chorus collects these once used and takes them to a local facility to be melted down and used again.
Battery Recycling
Help keep toxic and hazardous waste from going to landfill. Drop off your household batteries here for recycling!
Batteries accepted include: powertools, mobile phones, laptops, cordless phones, hearing aides, watches, batteries, cameras and, of course, your regular household batteries!
Colgate oral care goods
Toothbrushes, Toothpaste Tubes, Floss and Mouthwash Containers
Drop off Colgate brand only oral care waste and Envirohub Marlborough will send them to TerraCycle to be made in to new recycled products.
Please remove all toothpaste and floss from the countainers and recycle the cardboard packaging in your recycling bin.

Dish Care & Air Care Packaging
Any brand of dish care and air care packaging can be recycled through this TerraCycle program.
Please use your kerbside recycling for plastic bottles and cardboard packaging- This program is great for the foil bags that dishwasher tabs come in and the air freshener cans that can't be recycled kerbside.
Silicone Products
Munch is running a pilot program to turn unwanted silicone (baby bowls, muffin trays, teethers, bibs, etc) into new products made in New Zealand.
If you have any silicone products that are no longer of use (of any brand!) bring them to us and we will send them to Munch to be recycled.
Clean Used Razor Blades - ANY Brand!
You can drop your clean used blades into Envirohub Marlborough and we will package them correctly and send them back to Caliwoods for repurposing or recycling.
Product Stewardship at it's finest!
Wool Pouches from
Bargain Box/My Food Bag
We would love to collect the wool pouches that keep food cool in the meal box deliveries. This wool pouch can go in your garden or compost but Picton Dawn Chorus is collecting them to cover new native seedlings. Please save them up for us and drop them off at 14 Auckland St. Thank you!
Old Mobile / Cell Phones
We are a drop off location for RE:MOBILE recycling for mobile phones. The phones are recycled or refurbished by RE:MOBILE and the profits are donated to Sustainable Coastlines.
