The Junction
There are 13 transfer stations in Taranaki servicing both
urban and rural communities. As part of the upgrade to
the Resource Recovery Facility in New Plymouth, NPDC
established The Junction Zero Waste Hub on Colson Road.
The Junction is operated by Waitara Initiatives Supporting
Employment and Sustainable Taranaki, both charitable
trusts that run daily services and education initiatives
focused on reuse and recycling. It is a shop and drop
biannual biomonitoring surveys of the unnamed tributary of the Mangatengehu Stream.
The Company also reused a paddock which had been previously landfarmed in 2010 with prior assessment
for chemical parameters of concern, as required by consent.
By comparison with previous years, the monitoring indicated a decline in performance, both from an
environmental and administrative perceptive.
There were four unauthorised incidents recording non-compliance in respect of this consent holder …

through activities at the kindergarten and to encourage
change at home.
Children are encouraged to reduce, reuse or recycle material –
for example litter-less lunch boxes and composting.
Nature is a prominent feature of outdoor learning and activities
which involve trees, insects, animals and birds, and flower and
vegetable gardens. Children also learn healthy eating.
The children and families of Koromiko Kindergarten learn
to respect and care for the environment through
area and RURAL CHARACTER through
screening, planting, boundary treatment and BUILDING design, materials, colour and
reflectivity.

the adverse effects of increased COVERAGE of the SITE.

two soak holes. Install a wedge pit
system in the aggregate yard to
divert yard water to the stormwater
settlement pond; install a holding
tank to pump water from the
stormwater sump and batching area
for reuse in concrete manufacture
to reduce draw of freshwater.

Clean up paint chips and dust from sanding and
dispose of them in a bin
• Leave excess paints with property owners for touch-
ups. Small amounts can be painted onto boards or
allowed to dry in their containers, then disposed of in
a bin
• Always use drip trays when transferring or draining
paints and other liquids
• Allow paint thinners to settle, then strain out the
waste solids and reuse the liquid
• Clean up all spilt material immediately and dispose
of waste into a bin,
demonstrated. A facility which can
receive waste of this nature means recoverable material is kept out of landfills, and nutrients are
reclaimed and reused in the form of compost. The facility is necessary within the Taranaki Region so
that transport costs are avoided. There is no other facility of this nature in the region, and the
importance of the facility in achieving the Waste Management and Minimisation Strategy for Taranaki
is detailed in section 8.2.2 of the application for consent (June
• Store material in appropriate labelled containers
making sure they are sturdy, not corroded and not
liable to leak
• Store containers inside in locations where leaks and
spills will not cause stormwater pollution
• Where two or more liquids are stored on-site, where
possible each should be stored in a separate bunded
area to allow for the collection and reuse of
uncontaminated spilled liquid.
• If inside storage is not possible, storage tanks and
drums should be located
information in this report also reveals that in general, the region’s land, air and coast are in very good or
excellent shape, continuing or maintaining trends set out in earlier reports. So is Taranaki’s wide range of
heritage and amenity values, where the community maintains a progressive outlook. The region’s approach
to solid waste management has largely succeeded in addressing the environmental effects of disposal and is
increasingly focused on waste minimisation—by recovering, reusing
