Recycling, crushing and re-using Auckland's waste concrete

Construction and demolition waste is estimated to represent as much as 50% of all New Zealand’s waste, according to the Building Research Association of New Zealand.  Of that, around 25% is concrete waste.  That’s a huge amount of waste concrete destined for New Zealand’s landfill.

Back when Auckland Quarry Ltd started up, there were few options in central Auckland for yards  accepting tips of waste concrete and then recycling it.  It was mostly destined to be trucked to landfill.  Hauling demolition waste to landfills on the outskirts of Auckland meant increased time and costs for construction and civil projects.

So, in 2015 Auckland Quarry’s team set up their Mt Wellington yard to accept, recycle and re-use some of the vast amounts of concrete waste created by Auckland’s demolition, construction and infrastructure boom, and provide local projects with a handy cleanfill tip site.

Our Tainui Road yard is now a convenient local site for tipping cleanfill and clean waste concrete, and for buying supplies of recycled crushed concrete aggregate (eco-aggregate), as well as natural/virgin aggregate.  

We accept all kinds of clean waste concrete - from power poles to tilt slabs to home driveways as well as general cleanfill.

We recycle and re-sell the concrete and in the process, reduce the amount of waste going to landfill as well as reducing the carbon footprint left by trucking it there.  Everybody wins.

Being local means you enjoy the reduced costs and time of hauling waste, and picking up metal supplies.
