Christchurch residents will need to make sure that only the right stuff goes in their yellow bin from the start of next month.

The city's kerbside recycling service will resume on May 4 as the processing plant that sorts the items reopens under alert level 3.
Christchurch City Council resource recovery manager Ross Trotter said there would be some temporary changes to what material people could put in their yellow bins because of changing market conditions.
Paper and cardboard may not be recycled at the moment and would likely go to landfill due to no access to the markets that buy them, Trotter said.
Any waste, dirty material, liquids or other contamination in people's yellow bins would also mean the material could not be processed and markets would not buy it.
Trotter said it was important people continued to space their bins apart when putting them out for kerbside collection.

We also commit to you that if anyone in our house is unwell we will delay job untill we are 100% satisfied it is safe. The great thing about being a family business and our teens remaining at home for online school is that it strengthens our abilty to keep our clients safer.
Now is the time to book all those jobs that have annoyed you for the last 4 weeks: the upgrades to LED lights, oven, rangehood installs, getting rid of that old partially working heat pump for a new one or getting heat transfer kits and heaters installed for winter.
Stay safe team and see you in a week.

Luckily for them, they'd already done the hard yards, building the platform, testing the site and enticing dozens of artisan suppliers to get on board.
The pressure to help suppliers get their goods out swiftly convinced the Canterbury couple to bring the site to life early, launching the Marker2u shop in late March.

It appeared to me at New Brighton Pier today that there were two pairs of blue bottles but very few people appearing. This has been peer reviewed by my pair of dogs and their only criticism was for my not including them in the walk.

Christchurch's suburbs are packed with walkers and cyclists as queues form outside local dairies, yet the central city remains eerily quiet and empty.
