​We’re all about Less. waste

​Less. Waste Warkworth + Wellsford is the new trading name for Mahurangi Wastebusters.  Less is the hands-on drop-off yard, helping you sort your recycling, re-use and rubbish, diverting waste from landfill, and managing our two Shop Less second-hand stores. Mahurangi Wastebusters Trust is still highly active in our community, hosting zero waste education in schools and early childhood education centres in the Learning Hub.

​Less. is about much more than just recycling and waste, our mission is to send less to landfill, making a positive impact on the environment. 

Come and check out the redeveloped Less drop-off yard and shop at Lawrie Road, Snells Beach or our shop at 47 Station Road, Wellsford and see for yourself. 

• Recycling - everything from glass bottles, plastic and metalware and appliances to timber and green waste.  We also accept general waste.
• Less collections - if you’re having a major clear out, give us a call and we’ll come and get it from your place
• Shop Less - we accept donations of quality used goods that go to our onsite shop, saving them going to landfill - everything from construction products, wood, windows and furniture to clothes, toys and home decor.  We have two sites Shop Less Wellsford, 47 Station Road, and Shop Less Warkworth, 55 Lawrie Road (drive through the yard for access).

"As a group of fiercely passionate climate-action advocates, our tour of Lawrie Road really set the tone for our collective purpose going forward and further fueled the fire that had already been ignited. We want to thank the incredible staff for their commitment in protecting our planet and inspiring us all to do the same."
