Community Funding Partners

Put your name on e-waste
recycling in your community

Who This Is For

Any organisation that wants to be part of the solution

You don't need to be a council. If you want visible community impact and a genuine sustainability story, this is for you.

🏛️ Councils & local government

Fund a drop-off at an existing store or operate your own site at a transfer station or civic facility. You get WMMP-ready reporting data and a service your ratepayers can access year-round.

🏢 Local businesses & professional services

Real estate agencies, law firms, accountants, retailers — any business with community ties can sponsor a nearby drop-off location. Your logo goes on the in-store signage. Your name goes on our website. Your community benefits.

🌿 Trusts, iwi & community organisations

Philanthropic trusts, community foundations, and iwi entities can fund collection at an existing site or support a new one in their rohe. Recognition as a named Community Partner on the TechCollect NZ website and at the site itself.

What You Get

Visible recognition for your contribution

Co-funding a drop-off location isn't a donation into a void. You're named at the site and on our website — so your community knows who made it happen.

📍 In-store recognition

Your logo appears on TechCollect NZ signage at the specific drop-off location you co-fund. Every person who drops off their old tech sees your name associated with a service that genuinely benefits them.

🌐 Named on our website

You are listed as a Community Partner on the TechCollect NZ website — on this page and on the listing for your sponsored site. A permanent, public record of your contribution to your community.

📊 Annual impact report

Each year we provide you with a report on what your sponsorship achieved — kilograms diverted from landfill, number of drop-offs, and the environmental equivalent of your contribution. Real data you can use.

Funding Options

Three ways to get involved

Choose the option that fits your organisation. All three come with recognition at the site and on our website.

1

Sponsor an existing drop-off location

Pick a TechCollect NZ drop-off point in your area — at a Noel Leeming or Warehouse store — and co-fund its freight and recycling costs. The site already exists and is open to the public. Your sponsorship keeps it running and puts your name on it.

Good for Businesses, trusts, iwi, and councils wanting immediate, visible impact
2

Fund a new community collection point

Work with TechCollect NZ to establish a new drop-off location in your community — at a school, library, community centre, marae, or other suitable site. You fund the operational costs; we handle everything else.

Good for Organisations in communities without an existing drop-off nearby
3

Council-operated collection site

Councils can fund and operate their own drop-off point at a resource recovery centre, transfer station, or civic facility. TechCollect NZ provides certified recycling, logistics, and WMMP-ready reporting data. You retain full ownership of the community relationship.

Good for Councils with existing waste management infrastructure
