Reshaping civil and construction waste; restoring nature for future generations
About us
At Canterbury Environmental Solutions we are transforming waste management across Te Waipounamu, the South Island, with a focus on civil and construction waste.
With three dedicated sites, including a remediation facility and a state-of-the-art landfill, we provide efficient, compliant, and environmentally responsible waste processing and disposal.
Our advanced proof of placement system ensures all waste is carefully assessed, tracked, and managed responsibly.
Working closely with councils, government agencies, and businesses, we are committed to setting the standard for environmental responsibility in New Zealand.
How it works
At Canterbury Environmental Solutions, we apply our leading 3 step process to all civil and construction waste management.
Proof of
placement
We ensure transparency with our proof of placement system, providing time-stamped documentation along with photos for each waste load from entry to final placement. This guarantees compliance and gives you peace of mind for no legacy issues from the disposal of civil and construction waste.

Our
process
Once your waste is accredited, our team determines the appropriate processing route based on acceptance criteria. Some waste may pass through multiple sites, while others go directly to their final destination. Depending on requirements, waste may be directed to our transfer station, the Temuka remediation site for treatment, or moved straight to the landfill in Taiko. We ensure full traceability, with live tracking available for customers to monitor progress.
