Disposable Nappies
Envirocomp is able to recycle all brands of disposable nappy – you simply sign up to the scheme and
deliver your bags to allocated drop off points (large bins) around Christchurch. The great thing is, this
also frees up space in your usual red rubbish bins and for many large families this is a huge bonus.
You purchase special bags and away you go. Easy!
Pouches & Caps
The Fonterra Pouch Recycling Programme is a FREE service where you can send back your Fonterra

They have even arranged for free shipping, you simply collect the, rinse them out, join up online (and
request a shipping code) and away they go. Give them a call to see if the pouches you use are allowed
