Envirocomp Nappy Composting
Hurunui District Council is delighted to support Envirocomp Ltd and the development of the 1st commercial nappy composting facility in New Zealand.
Christchurch company HotRot Organic Solutions (NZ) Ltd in conjunction with Envirocomp has designed a custom built composting facility which is a modular in-vessel system. The plant, located in the Hurunui District, will be able to initially compost 2.5 tonnes of organic waste per day, with the option of adding three further units, each with a capacity of 2.5 tonnes which would quadruple the daily through-put.
With the addition of a bulking agent (including green waste from the Hurunui District Council’s transfer stations), disposable nappies, sanitary and incontinence items can now be composted rather than being sent to our landfills.
This service is available to households and businesses in the North Canterbury, Christchurch and Kaikoura districts. Households will be charged per bag and can select to have a weekly or fortnightly collection. Businesses will be provided with wheelie bins and collected weekly.
Please note that collection is not available to all residents. Please contact Envirocomp direct, or visit their website to see if you are in the collection area.
