Soft Plastics Recycling Bin

The Packaging Forum’s Soft Plastic Recycling Scheme Lets New Zealanders Recycle Plastic Bags and Wrappers

Collect all the soft plastic packaging which you use at home, make sure the bags are clean, empty and dry and drop them into the Soft Plastics Recycling bin in your Grey Lynn Community Centre

Please remember we only accept clean, dry and empty soft plastic bags and packaging. Food scraps and liquid will contaminate all the other bags in the bin. Hard plastic and metal objects will damage our processing plant. We do NOT accept compostable plastic bags or plant based plastics. Thank you for your support.

Battery Recycling

Batteries cannot be tossed out in your rubbish or recycling bins, the hazardous substances they contain could cause a fire in the truck or our recycling process plant.

If batteries end up in landfill, these substances may leak out into surrounding soil and ground water.

Most batteries that are recycled have to be shipped overseas to be processed.

Drop your batteries into the Grey Lynn Community Centre Foyer and we'll send them to our partners at Recycling Direct to ensure they are correctly recycled!

Good Medicine Clinic

This clinic came about from a desire to provide a certain style of primary care to the community that we feel is somewhat lost in the current trend towards faster, busier and less personalised healthcare.

Doctors Fiona Gordon, Frances Moon and Doug Winter and nurses Trish Lodge and Nicola Gee have many years of experience and have loved working together in the past. We share a strong desire to practice at a very high standard of medicine and to do so with a great deal of kindness, warmth, humour and love.
