We’re stoked to be turning 25, and we’d love to celebrate with you!
Wastebusters began 25 years ago thanks to a crew of local legends. Built by the community, for the community, Wasties has been keeping resources in use and inspiring change ever since. Now it’s time to celebrate everything we’ve achieved together and look ahead to what’s next.
Here’s what’s happening on the day:
- Throughout the day, we’ll be joined by Night Cat Coffee Bar, Cat Rescue Wānaka’s bake sale and Wānaka & District Lions Club’s sausage sizzle
- 3pm – cake cutting, speeches, and a few celebration drinks
- A chance to share your ideas for the next 25 years of Wasties
- 25% off across the shop all day
For 25 years, together we’ve kept thousands of tonnes out of landfill, inspired change, and built something iconic. But with our little site bursting at the seams, it’s time to dream big. Wastebusters 2.0 is our vision for a bigger, better hub that grows with Wānaka, future-proofs our site, and multiplies our impact for the next generation.
We’d love to know if you can join us. Please RSVP here to help us plan numbers. When you book, you’ll also have the option to add your name as a Wastebusters 2.0 supporter and be part of the next chapter in our zero-waste journey.
