We are Wasteless.
Anyone in Nelson Tasman looking for the best way to reduce waste can use our free resource. We list almost 300 available solutions in an easy-to-access online directory.
We wanted to make the right thing easier to do so more of us can do it. That's because we can all do something every day to reduce waste, however small. Lots of small actions add up to a big impact. So Wasteless is offering the following suggestions for action and the tools to help with that. Click on these images to find local service options.
Why do we want to support waste reduction? Because, not only do small achievable everyday actions add up to big environmental wins, there are so many positive spinoffs :
- the quality of our lives,
- our cost of living,
- food security,
- community,
- climate,
- biodiversity,
all benefit. In short, there is no downside; the more you do the bigger the upside. It's that simple

Wasteless is a completely voluntary organisation. We are powered by our passion for a less wasteful world. We want to thank all those who share our passion and have helped us so far.
This is a community resource. Its strength and usefulness comes from the feedback and crowd-sourced information our community provides. Everything you can tell us improves what we offer.
One person and an idea. Sharon Brinsdon was prompted by the birth of her first grandchild to do more for the Earth and future generations, because “suddenly the future had a little face”. She wants to be able to say “ I did all I could”. Wasteless was created as a self-funded passion project. The simple idea behind Wasteless is if it’s easier to do the right thing, more of us can. Everyone can do a little more to live a better life, now and in the future.
