We support local
Smart Environmental reinvests strongly in the regions it operates in by:
- spending locally
- employing locally
- spending profits locally
- supporting local companies, and
- openly seeking and contracting local subcontractors
We are 100% New Zealand owned and support New Zealand business alike.
Reuse Shops
We believe that a Reuse shop is a natural fit for Resource Recovery as it provides a portal for the recovery of any reusable goods from the waste stream. Our preference is to work closely with the community to ensure that a Reuse Shop would work and is sustainable.
Currently we operate Reuse shops in:
- Thames-Coromandel
- Tasman
We always employ our people from your community

Great Coromandel Coastal Clean-up
“A massive thank you to Smart Environmental for transporting all of the rubbish. Around 160 of us worked together to remove rubbish from coastlines around the Peninsula. Combined with the nearly 400 volunteers from schools and community groups in the weeks leading up to this Saturday, we have left the Coromandel’s beaches a whole lot cleaner.”
