Find New Zealand reuse and recycling drop-offs by material and location, including Habitat reuse stores, Christchurch collection depots and Auckland community recycling centres, plus text search of repair cafés and Tyrewise collection sites. Use when locating material collection services or searching local repair events. TROW stock and Zero Waste membership markers are unsupported and are not fetched.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# NZ recycling locator

Find reuse and recycling drop-offs by material and WGS84 location; text-search
repair cafés and Tyrewise sites. Use
`scripts/cli.py` (Python 3.10+, stdlib). All commands support `--json`.
Read [source notes](references/source-notes.md) for coverage, acceptance limits,
upstream schemas and the unimplemented Council command.

```bash
python3 scripts/cli.py sources --json
python3 scripts/cli.py materials --source recyclemap --json
python3 scripts/cli.py find --material battery --near=174.7633,-36.8485 --radius 10 --json
python3 scripts/cli.py find --material concrete --near=174.7633,-36.8485 --source branz --radius 30 --format geojson
python3 scripts/cli.py search "Manurewa" --bbox=174.5,-37.2,175.2,-36.5 --json

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/nz-recycling-locator@sha256:8ac2a4e4ae5c5936

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.f3f4318, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
