RecycleMap Maps of recycling locations across New Zealand - page 2

28/10/24

Added Ōpōtiki and Ōtorohanga District Council map data. Also removed a number of duplicate map markers that had crept in to the database.

Spotted an issue with incorrectly assigned categories for some locations…as in free drop off locations not being identified as free and possibly appearing as having charges. I’m looking in to why this might be as the background data looks no different from the correctly categorised points.

24/10/24

Added location data for Masterton, Matamata-Piako, and New Plymouth District councils and Napier and Nelson City councils.

16/10/24

Added map locations for Palmerston North, including TWO for Polystyrene!

15/10/24

Added Manawatu and Marlborough District Council locations for transfer stations and rural stations. Now at 1574 markers across 10 maps.

12/10/24

Added marker data for all current SPCA op shops (86 in total) to the Op Shop category.

10/10/24

Added location data for Kaikōura, Kaipara, Kāpiti Coast, Kawerau and Mackenzie District Councils.

Now at 1420 map markers across 10 different map categories.

2/10/24

Added recycling markers for Hurunui District Council, Hutt City Council & Invercargill City Council.

28/9/24

Added data for Hastings, Hauraki and Horowhenua district councils. Now at 1366 map markers across 10 different maps.

6 Rural transfer stations(Tūtira, Poukawa, Pukehamoamoa, Maraekākaho, Waimārama, Waipātiki) not added for Hastings as there are no available addresses to pinpoint accurate locations for them. If you know where they are please let me know!

24/9/24

Added map data for Hamilton City Council and Whanganui District Councils.

22/9/24

Added marker data for Gore and Grey District councils.

On an unrelated note, the process for manually locating and entering the marker data can be incredibly frustrating at times, but also entirely validates this websites existence. Some council transfer stations are literally not locatable via the addresses or descriptions given. Sometimes a street that is several hundred metres long is the only address (“Dave St”). Others you might be lucky and it’ll be “Corner of “Frank St” or something, but a google street view or map does not show anything in the location, so who knows if it’s there or not. I have reached out to ALL councils of New Zealand, and had a mixed response, and so the process of manually tracking down as many transfer stations as possible, council by council, continues. I will not add stations that I am not comfortable with the location for.
