National recycling week!

The team from Upper Hutt City Council

We care about our environment, but sometimes recycling can be confusing.

Upper Hutt’s Park Street recycling station is open 24/7

How it works
There are three containers, two for plastic, cans, and cardboard, and one (split into three colours) for glass. The containers are taken to be hand-sorted at the material recovery facility.
The two cardboard, plastic and cans containers are emptied on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at around 9.00am, and Saturday around 3.00 pm. The glass container is emptied weekly.

Appropriate use
At the material recovery facility, a scoop test is taken of the recycling. If the material is too contaminated, the entire container will be landfilled.

Please do not dump your recycling!

The station is cleaned daily by Intergroup. Any material that is left outside the containers will not be recycled and Council is charged extra to clean it up. Make sure you check all of the containers—if they are all full, come back another time when they have been emptied.

DOES SKY BOX REACH FOR THE STARS

Michael from Trentham

New Sky boxes coming my way as replacements. They are valued at $200 each.

Sky Tv rate them as a great step forward.

Lots of TV viewers must have the new model by now, so how much of an improvement are they really?

NOT CALLED INTO ALL BLACKS SQUAD

Michael from Trentham

The reasons why Hoskins Sotutu and Shaun Stevenson are not in Scot Robertson's ABs is that they, along with some other prominent fringe players, unfortunately have character issues. Of those mentioned, one is inclined to give away too many penalties and the other can be rather easily rattled.

For most of us, seeing a friendly doggo while out and about instantly brings a smile to our faces. But how do you feel about cafes welcoming pups inside?
