Food Scraps Collections

Friends of the Farm are all about being Wastewise and reducing what is sent to the landfill. So we are pleased to support the new Food Scraps Collection program in Auckland, reducing the amount of organic waste going to landfill by converting food scraps into a renewable resource..

Here we will keep you up to date with progress of the 2023 roll-out and provide useful tips via this page and regular features on our Home Page and our Facebook page.
