Green Gorilla’s 2.7 ha Onehunga Processing Facility started operation in 2015 above the remnants of a former landfill site – the very activity they are trying to minimise.
It is New Zealand’s largest waste processing facility where over 150,000 tonnes of waste per annum is delivered, and approximately 50 per cent is diverted from Auckland’s landfills.
It’s the only comprehensive Waste Processing Facility in New Zealand, diverting over 75,000 tonnes of waste per annum away from Auckland’s landfills.

It’s here that they receive and process large volumes of construction, manufacturing and commercial waste as well as hand-sorted material from transfer stations.
