Solid Waste Management in the Mackenzie

On 20 May 2002, Mackenzie District Council inaugurated a completely new solid waste management system built around the concept of Resource Recovery. Prior to this, 100% of the Mackenzie’s waste was dumped into rudimentary landfills at each town.

Just what your garden needs in spring …
MACKENZIE BLACK: ROCKET FUEL FOR PLANTS
Council has got good stocks of excellent quality compost for sale. It's produced by our composting unit in Twizel from the organic waste of the district. It is a supremely rich mix of near neutral pH, containing 2.5% nitrogen, high levels of the other macro elements and an optimum combination of all the micro-nutrients. The high temperatures developed during composting ensure that it is weed and pathogen free.
Available from all Mackenzie Resource Recovery Parks in 25 litre bags at $5.00 each.
It may also be purchased in bulk from the Twizel Recovery Park at $80-00/m³.
