Borrow Zero Waste Event loan gear

Through Auckland Council, you can borrow zero waste event loan gear for small gatherings of 100 people, right through to large-scale events of 5000+ people. 

For small events, our loan gear includes:

• colour-coded plastic pyramid tops (red for landfill, yellow for mixed recyclables, and green for compostables)
• attachable waste display screens to hold a sample/s of the waste. These come with clips and ties to attach your items. Instructions for how to assemble the waste display screens can be found here.
• Weighing scales (to weigh event waste and calculate waste diversion rates)
• Flags
• Litter grabbers
• Public litter bin covers
• Gloves
• Hats
• Aprons

You will need to supply your own wheelie bins (240L) to sit underneath the plastic pyramid tops. If you don’t have access to your own wheelie bins, you can organise bins and a waste collection service from your local provider.

We can also support you to create a thorough waste disposal plan for all waste collected.

For large events, we have additional loan gear available. Please contact [email protected] for more information.

All gear loaned is subject to availability. Bookings should be made at least ten days prior to your event.

Once you have submitted your loan gear form, you will receive a confirmation email within 15 minutes. Please check your junk and spam folders if you can’t see it in your main inbox, and contact [email protected] if you don’t receive it.
