Green Gorilla Construction & Demolition waste processing to divert away from Auckland landfill.

Green Gorilla CEO Elaine Morgan outlines what happens at our Construction and Demolition Waste Processing Facility. Our 2.7 ha Waste Processing Facility in Onehunga allows us to maximise recycling and reprocessing of waste and divert waste from landfill. The processing systems include a large-scale mechanical and manual sort line to recover timber, metals, card, plasterboard and other valuable commodities. GREEN GORILLA 'WALKS TALL' WHEN IT COMES TO OUR WASTE PROCESSING FACILITY We receive and process large volumes of construction, manufacturing, commercial waste, and hand-sorted material from transfer stations. Our 2.7ha facility in Onehunga, Auckland, is on a closed landfill. It's an impressive operation, and interesting to note that one of New Zealand's largest Resource Recovery operations is now at home above the remnants of the very activity we are trying to minimise. Our Waste Processing Facility is dedicated to recycling and processing waste material, and we achieve an overall diversion rate from the landfill of over 75% for construction and demolition waste. Waste is accepted daily with access restricted to commercial account holders only. As with all other material entering or leaving the site, control, weighing, and billing are electronic via a number plate recognition system which operates a barrier arm for access. EACH MONTH APPROX, 10,000 TONNE OF WASTE COMES TO US FOR PROCESSING The uptake of green building techniques in the construction industry has helped better manage the number of waste materials. However, it still creates large amounts of waste that can be recycled and diverted from New Zealand landfill. This is where our specialist waste processing facility is a vital link in processing to reduce landfill and create recycled by-products. The plant is operated daily to process incoming waste material. Recovered products are shipped out continuously to nearby users or processed at our facility. GREEN STAR AND HOMESTAR REPORTING Green Star is an internationally-recognised rating system for designing, constructing and operating commercial buildings and fit-outs. Homestar assesses a house, apartment or multi-unit development against several categories, including energy, health and comfort, water waste and materials. Green Gorilla can provide all the reporting and expert advice required for your certifications. PLASTERBOARD WASTE RECYCLING Plasterboard is used extensively in the construction industry to build walls. Green Gorilla can collect waste plasterboard as part of our waste service. The paper and gypsum content is separated at our waste facility. Gypsum is a soft sulfate mineral, and as a recycled by-product, it is widely used as a fertilizer, compost or cement additive. Up to 100% of waste plasterboard can be recycled as gypsum and paper through our plant. We sell recycled gypsum in bulk or 1-tonne bags.
