No Xmas Day or New Year’s Day kerbside collections
Residents whose usual rubbish and recycling collection days are Mondays are advised to put their bins/bags out on the Saturday prior:
If your collection day falls on Christmas Day (Monday, 25 Dec 2017) please put your bins/bags out two days earlier, on Saturday 23 December 2017 for collection.
If your collection day falls on New Year’s Day (Monday, 1 Jan 2018) please put your bins/bags out two days earlier, on Saturday 30 December 2017 for collection.
If you have neighbours or friends in Mount Maunganui, Mataphi, Omanu or Arataki - please share so they don't miss the earlier collections.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
