Waitara beach clean up
Posted on Thursday, 5 February 2026
The ANZCO Foods Waitara’s Gourmet Foods team volunteered to clean up the local beach with Sustainable Taranaki recently.
Throughout the day, they collected 650 litres of rubbish including:
- 120L of plastic (1, 2 & 5), cans, and cardboard
- 60L of glass
- 50L of compost
The glass, plastic, cans, and cardboard can be recycled, and the compost can be used elsewhere, meaning 35% of the collected rubbish was diverted from potentially ending up in landfill – a fantastic outcome. Thanks to the teams for their hard work.
