Waiheke Dump – WCRRP

Overview

Waiheke Dump or Waiheke Tip, full name Waiheke Community Resource Recovery Park. But I’m sure if you asked 50 locals on the street the name of it, only a few would get it right. So for now we are just calling it the dump. Even though they offer more features than just dumping of waste.
