Kia Ora and Welcome!
At the Environment Centre Hawke's Bay, we offer information on sustainability, run courses and events, sell worms and worm farms, collect dead batteries, printer toners, fluorescent lights, coffee pods, mobile phones and e-waste (electronic waste) and much more for recycling and safe disposal.
You can also view our demonstration urban backyard (plants, veges, herbs, rainwater tanks, working worm farm and compost bins). Inside we have plenty of information on energy efficiency and solar power, along with lots of sustainability related products for sale.
Come and visit us at 1004 Karamu Road, Hastings to find out more about how you can help yourself and Hawke's Bay to become more sustainable.
The Environment Centre is staffed predominantly by volunteers, so while we aim to be open during these hours, regretfully this is sometimes not possible. If you'd like to check that we're here, just call before you visit.
