WM New Zealand celebrates Driver & Operator Appreciation Week, honouring essential teams across the country with activities and recognition.
WM New Zealand is thrilled to introduce its newly appointed Board, a significant step following the company's acquisition by Igneo Infrastructure Partners last year.
In a bold move towards sustainability, we're set on transforming our practices to reduce our carbon footprint and lead the industry in decarbonisation.
Our Technical Service division are the experts in handling hazardous substances including packaged chemical wastes. These packages may range from small jars all the way up to 200L drums or 1,000L intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). You can be confident in WM Technical Services to handle your chemical wastes. Our professional chemist team always ensure that flammables, oxidising substances, organic peroxides, toxics, corrosives and ecotoxics are treated in a safe and compliant way.
The group of silicate mineral fibres known as asbestos was used extensively for construction purposes in New Zealand. Raw asbestos wasn't banned until 1999 and asbestos-containing materials weren't banned in NZ until the end of 2016. WM Technical Services can safely accept wetted and double-wrapped ACM in 250-micron plastic and facilitate the special burial required to control this risk.
WM Technical Services runs one of New Zealand’s most comprehensive certified vacuum tanker fleets. Our trucks are fully compliant with the applicable Worksafe Approved Codes of Practice for road tank wagons which gives you the peace of mind that your bulk hazardous waste is handled under best practice guidelines.
New Zealand’s stormwater network is protected from debris ending up on roads via well designed drains and with cesspits. Periodically these cesspits need to be sucked out by a vacuum tanker. WM Technical Services provides a convenient location for these tankers to discharge their waste for safe and efficient dewatering and disposal.
New Zealand’s unique biodiversity and strong primary industries is heavily dependent on effective biosecurity to keep out pests and diseases. WM Technical Services operates several MPI Approved Transitional Facilities for receiving and destroying biosecurity risk goods. Secure biosecurity or quarantine bin options are available to meet Transitional Facility waste needs.
