Hutt City Council, Porirua City Council and Wellington City Council (the Councils) are seeking solutions to address the processing of the region’s organic waste.

The primary objective is to manage the household organics, specifically food scraps and green waste that is currently being disposed to landfill.

The regional organics processing solution must also be able to work reliably and efficiently with food scraps currently accepted at Capital Compost at the Southern Landfill, and organics received at the Silverstream and Spicer Landfills. In addition, the ability to accept kerbside organics from the wider region including other Territorial Authorities (not currently involved in this procurement) is also a consideration.
