Our pet food packaging recycling program is completely free, making it easy to recycle your pet food bags and pouches. Simply empty, clean and dry your pet food packaging before dropping it off at the clinic, and we’ll sort out the rest!
We are proudly teaming up with TerraCycle NZ and Royal Canin to be part of their in-clinic pet food packaging recycling program. Together, we aim to help prevent pet food packaging from ending up in landfill or our oceans, reducing the impact on our environment and supporting more sustainable pet care practices.
This will make a better world for pets, and a greener world for us all.
Avonhead Vets is now a drop-off centre for pet food packaging recycling, allowing pet owners to recycle their empty pet food bags and wet food pouches through TerraCycle. This is made possible through the Royal Canin Recycling Program.
We collect the pet food packaging and send it to TerraCycle, where it is processed using a circular economy recycling method. Royal Canin works behind the scenes with TerraCycle to help transform used pet food packaging into reusable products, including items such as park benches, dog agility equipment and frisbees.
By recycling your pet food packaging, you can help reduce waste going to landfill and support more sustainable pet care practices.

Royal Canin has also partnered with Blind Low Vision NZ as the charity partner for the Royal Canin Recycling Program. For every 1kg of pet food packaging returned and recycled, $1 is donated to support the incredible work of Blind Low Vision NZ.
TerraCycle is an innovative global waste management company that helps recycle hard-to-recycle materials and currently operates across 21 countries worldwide. Through this partnership, pet food packaging can be diverted from landfill and given a new life through recycling.
