What happens when community action meets the right support? Real impact. 🌱💪 Across South Auckland, local groups are taking on moth plant — a fast-spreading pest that threatens native ecosystems. With initiatives like the Otara Waterways and Lake Trust competition, volunteers are collecting seed pods and stopping the spread at the source.

WM New Zealand is proud to support this effort by providing secure collection and safe disposal through Living Earth’s composting process — making sure the seeds don’t make their way back into the environment. In just one month, more than 3.3 tonnes have been collected.

WM New Zealand partners with communities to tackle invasive moth plant, providing safe disposal solutions that protect waterways and native ecosystems.

Our teams across New Zealand proudly took part in Pink Shirt Day 2026, wearing pink to stand against bullying and support kindness, inclusion and respect 💗👏

It was great to see teams get involved in different ways — from bright outfits to shared morning teas — all reinforcing the importance of creating workplaces where everyone feels safe, supported and welcome.

At our East Tāmaki site, a pink-themed bake sale raised $677 for the cause — an awesome example of people coming together to make a difference.

This week is International Compost Awareness Week 🌱 A chance to recognise the role composting plays in keeping our land healthy — and the systems behind it that make the cycle work.

Across New Zealand, garden waste like lawn clippings, leaves, and prunings is often treated as rubbish. But when it’s collected and composted properly, it becomes a valuable resource that helps rebuild soils, support plant growth, and reduce pressure on landfills.

For more than 30 years, Living Earth — part of the WM New Zealand whānau — has been turning garden waste into high‑quality compost, helping recycle over 2 million tonnes of New Zealand’s organic material. That garden waste goes on to support healthier gardens, productive land, and greener urban spaces, while also helping local councils meet waste‑reduction goals.

We’re proud to support the full journey — from garden clean‑ups to composting — and to work alongside Living Earth to help garden waste end up where it belongs: back in the soil, doing its job.
