The Sumner Hub Enviro Network

Sumner Hub is a part of the Zero Waste Network Aotearoa. We are dedicated to providing our community opportunities to reduce their impact on the environment. We offer novel plsatics, steel and aluminium recycling and facilitate programmes locally promoting biodiversity, conservation and resilience to climate change impacts.
