Level 2 at Xtreme Zero Waste

Kia ora Whāingaroa, during Alert Level 2 we are remaining OPEN. However safety on site is very important for both you and our team, so we ask you to follow our signage, be kind, and respect any instruction or requests from our team.

We will be collecting info for contact tracing with a clipboard at Kahu’s Nest and if you have the contact tracing app please scan in where you see our QR code signage.

Please maintain 2 metre distancing while on site.

Hand sanitiser will be available at shop entry, shop counter and the public recycling bay.

If you are unwell or symptomatic please stay at home, please get tested (ring the medical centre before you go in) and we hope that you feel better soon.

Whilst at home, please wash and squash all recyclables REALLY well. This is our standard request all the time, to not spread contamination of anything, but particularly while there’s community transmission of Covid we need to be extra careful with things we have touched, or sipped from, that our Xtreme team will later touch in collection and processing.

Kerbside collections remain as per normal until further notice

~ Kia ora!
