Introducing...<br />
intelligro<br />
landscape<br />
recycle Centre<br />
Did you know… your trusted garden and landscaping<br />
supplier, Intelligro, now offers a new service that’s super<br />
handy for their customers AND good news for the<br />
planet… Introducing the Intelligro Landscape Recycle<br />
Centre!<br />
In a nutshell, here’s how it works:<br />
1. Drop off your waste: green waste, clean soil, clean fill,<br />
hard fill and general waste.<br />
2. Intelligro goes through a whole bunch of processes to<br />
recycle as much of this as they can.<br />
3. The recycled product becomes part of their amazing<br />
range of products, including screened soils, barks,<br />
mulches, woodchips, planting mixes, builders’ mix and<br />
crusher dust.<br />
The fees to drop off materials are very low and<br />
reasonable – Intelligro wants to make this work for<br />
everyone.<br />
There are charges per car boot or rear hatch, small ute<br />
or low-sided single axle trailer, van or standard low-sided<br />
tandem trailer and large trailer, caged trailer or truck.<br />
To keep things sensible, there may be an extra charge if<br />
your delivery is overloaded, dense or highly compacted.<br />
This structure is for household volumes, but they also<br />
accept larger quantities – just discuss with the team.<br />
As with all recycling, it’s crucial to handle the waste<br />
separations accurately – to help you manage this,<br />
Intelligro will inspect all loads before accepting them<br />
and advise if you need to separate out mixed loads.<br />
What’s amazing is that most of this waste will be sorted,<br />
recycled and re-used. This is part of Intelligro’s ongoing<br />
commitment to sustainability, and a major step up in<br />
the range of services that they provide to their gardenloving<br />
customers.<br />
And they know that <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s up for it. This is a threegeneration<br />
family business after all – they’ve been<br />
discussing and advising locals on their gardening and<br />
landscaping projects for years, and have really listened<br />
to our needs and priorities.<br />
What could be more environmentally satisfying – and<br />
convenient – than doing a garden clearout and dropping<br />
off the waste at the same place where you’re purchasing<br />
the next steps in your exciting project!<br />

the in-house shop and extensive yard facilities, at<br />

GETTING THE BALL ROLLEN’<br />
Plenty of space!<br />
With more than enough space to stock all the materials needed to<br />
take a project from concept to completion, the showroom will be<br />
583m2 with a drive-through area of over 1,000m2.<br />
“It’s a big site,” explains Rob. “We also have a gravelled area that<br />
we’ll use for product storage and that’s roughly 3,000m2.<br />
PlaceMakers Rolleston is now open at 35 Hoskyns Road<br />
The branch, which has been in development since September<br />
2021, joins seven other PlaceMakers stores in the region to improve<br />
access to building materials for tradespeople working in<br />
surrounding areas such as <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
“We’ve left no stone unturned in the construction of this store and<br />
researching the customer base it’ll serve,” says Christchurch Hub<br />
Operations Manager Rob Payne.<br />
“We identified a lack of service to builders out here and wanted to<br />
expand our reach to better meet their needs.”<br />
“We’re anticipating it could save some builders a 40-minute round<br />
trip to restock on supplies – and that’s with good traffic!”<br />
The new store’s branch manager Scott Morton has been working<br />
with PlaceMakers for 14 years. He started off part-time at a young<br />
age, working after school in the showroom, before progressing<br />
through telesales and account management, as well as spending<br />
some time as a commercial account manager.<br />
Scott says he’s confident the knowledge and experience of the 10<br />
staff working at Rolleston will help fill a gap that was previously<br />
missing for builders in the area. “We’ll ensure we meet their needs<br />
by providing the most enjoyable and efficient in-store experience,<br />
the best range of merchandise in the area and a comprehensive<br />
delivery service. We’ll ensure all key products are available. A real<br />
advantage for us is that we can bring stock in from other areas of<br />
Canterbury if we’re missing something.”<br />
