About Green Gorilla

Green Gorilla is a waste management company whose main site is a sorting and recycling facility at 1 Victoria Street in Onehunga, Auckland. It provides skip bin and bag hire for construction, commercial and residential projects across Auckland, and bag collections can be booked through the website. The company says the Onehunga facility is the largest commercial waste processing plant in New Zealand, diverting over 100,000 tonnes of waste from Auckland's landfills each year. The website invites visitors to come in and have a look around.

The company also sells products made from recycled material. The website says old plasterboard becomes mineral-rich fertiliser, wooden off-cuts become animal bedding or fuel for cement, and organic waste becomes compost. Green Gorilla was started in 2010, and on 20 November 2025 it opened a construction and demolition resource recovery facility in the Waikato, named Kia Manawa Ora. For builders working in Auckland, the Onehunga plant is where the offcuts and plasterboard from a site are separated, and the website says landfill is the last resort.
