Toroa’s environmental conscience
Toroa’s commitment to the environment
We actively recycle, conserve water and save resources by turning off lights and electrical equipment when not in use.
EARTH
EARTH is Toroa’s environmental committee, which we hope you will join.
Members of EARTH (EcoReps) provide information and encourage other residents to be aware of simple sustainable living practices conducive to community living.
Recycling
We encourage and provide communal facilities for recycling of paper, cardboard, glass, cans, batteries, egg cartons and other products.
Our composting bins allow you to reduce the amount of food waste you send to the landfill.
Freecycling
Take it or leave it
Take It or Leave It is Toroa's freecycling scheme - where you can place your unwanted goods so that others may reuse them - and of course you can help yourself to something that might be of use to you.
Community bikes
We have a collection of community bikes for your use all you have to do is drop by the office to sign one out.
Our worm farm
Toroa is home to thousands of wriggly worms - housed nicely in our worm farm. Known for their voracious appetite, Toroa's worms happily feed themselves on our food scraps, turning them into compost.
