Keeping food waste out of landfill, one bucket at a time.
Local collection for Waikato businesses
Food waste collection is where Little Buddies started — and it's still an important part of what we do for local Waikato businesses. We collect organic waste from your premises on a regular schedule and process it through our vermiculture network, keeping it entirely out of landfill.
The alternative — organic waste rotting in a landfill — produces leachate and potent greenhouse gases. What we do instead turns that same material into nutrient-dense compost that goes back to work in the soil. It's a better outcome for your business, for the environment, and for the community
A service built on relationships
The brokerage service works because of the network Little Buddies has built over years operating in this industry.
We know who the good operators are, which carriers are worth working with, and how to get organic waste to the right place efficiently. That knowledge is available to you from the first conversation.
Based in Waikato. Connected nationally.
While our roots are in Cambridge and the wider Waikato, we broker solutions for organisations across New Zealand.
If you're generating organic waste and don't know what to do with it, we want to hear from you.

If you're an existing collection client, nothing changes — we're still here. If you're a Waikato business looking for a responsible way to handle food waste, we'd love to talk.
We'll tell you honestly whether collection is the right solution for your situation, or whether something else might serve you better.
