About Us

As Aotearoa NZ’s oldest environment centre, we’re passionate about providing waste minimisation / resource recovery, and sustainable choices - real solutions for real people, that can be actioned in everyday life.

Education & impact.

Nelson Environment Centre’s founding priorities were to provide environmental education & impact to our community, with a focus on recycling activities.

Community.

Community is at the heart of what we do. We know that to support our environment to thrive, it’s essential to support our community.

Our work today.

Today, our organisation has evolved to include a strong social focus - we now deliver key community & environmental impact through our programmes: the ReUse Shops,
E-Waste Recycling, Kai Rescue, and
Hapori Fruit & Veg Box.
