The transfer station is open!

Communications from Tauranga City Council

We know this was an unpopular decision and we appreciate your patience as we worked through the processes needed to protect staff and customers from COVID-19.

From today, the transfer station will take general rubbish and green waste but unfortunately we still can’t accept recycling (working on it).

Here’s what you need to know:
- Contact tracing requires you to supply your name, phone number and vehicle rego via an online form so bring your phone. If you do not have internet access, staff can help
- Pre-sort all waste e.g. rubbish, garden waste beforehand
- You must maintain a minimum distance of 2m from others at all times
- Payment is card only, no cash will be accepted
- Transfer station opening hours are: Monday – Friday 7.30am – 5pm Weekends: 9am – 5pm

Once again, thank you for your patience. We will update you on recycling when services can resume.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱

Walk around the Mount on Tuesdays

Ewa from Tauranga City

Last Tuesday we have had two extra people who joined us for this walk after I have promoted it here in Neighbourly. I hope we will have you two again and some more tomorrow! Weather forecast is reasonable - we might be lucky to finish our walk before the rain comes.
