Recycling at home.

Are you looking for an easy way for you and your children to manage your recycling? Perhaps you live on a lifestyle block where you have to do your own recycling and have to take it to the nearest recycling station which can be kilometres away? EcoPods can help you with home recycling bins. 

We have two options to suit every budget, from wall mounted or free-standing recycling bins. The bins come in different colours allowing clear identification of the different waste streams. It makes recycling at home fun and easy! The bags make it easy to transport the recyclables and what’s more you get to keep the bag! Remember they are reusable!

Installing your Pods

Wall Mounted Pods
  1. Remove the lid by pressing in gently at one side (where the lid joins the base) It will then slip out of its socket and two pre-drilled holes will be uncovered.
  2. Drill two holes, each 85cm from ground level and 26.5cm apart. Fix the pod to the wall with screws and rawl/wall plugs.
  3. The bags are best placed onto the two back “grabs”. The broad face of the bag should be positioned to the front and straightened to give a neat appearance.
  4. Please make sure that the bottom of the bag is lying amply on the floor – the floor will take the weight of the bag’s contents.

What do you require?
  • Drill
  • Screwdriver
  • Screws x 2

​
​Freestanding Pods
  1. The Ecopods are easily assembled. During transport, the stand shape may become altered – just simply widen the two top arms to provide a more secure fit.  Place the stand with the U-bar front-facing on the ground – this acts as a kick-bar.
  2. The two open arms at the top should face forward with the pod placed on top. There is a clip positioned to the right of each pod and if the pods are placed in station-like positions, they can be clipped together to secure and stabilise the units.
  3. The bags are best placed onto the two back “grabs” first and then gently pulled forward to secure with the two front “grabs”. The broad face of the bag should be positioned to the front and straightened to give a neat appearance.
  4. Please make sure that the bottom of the bag is lying amply on the floor – the floor will take the weight of the bag’s contents.​

  • Note: Bag contents should not exceed 15kg
  • If the bag is used for glass it should be handled with care

Fitting the bags
The bags are tailor made to fit the pods perfectly to ensure that the waste is contained safely.
​For the efficient operation of EcoDepo to be maintained, we recommend that no other bag should be used with the pods other than bags supplied by EcoPods NZ.
  • To ensure the bags fit securely, fold the top of the bag a couple of times to form a narrow band
  • Fit the bag onto the two back 'grabs' first before pulling the bag gently forward to secure onto the two front 'grabs' with the bag touching the ground
  • The face of the bag should be positioned to the front and straightened to give a neat appearance
