Rubbish and recycling
Does your rubbish and recycling get picked up on a Friday?
This year Christmas and New Year fall on a Friday and our collectors are having the day off.
To make sure your rubbish and recycling still gets collected, we are doing a Christmas run on Saturday 26 December and a New Year run on Saturday 2 January 2021.
If you'd like to take advantage of this opportunity, please make sure your rubbish and recycling is on the kerb by 7.30am.
To help our contractors during the months leading up to Christmas and New Year, please only put a maximum of 1-2 bins kerbside per household.
Please also:
• Look for numbers on the bottom of plastics and only put out number 1 and 2
• Rinse and wipe clean plastics, tins and glass
• Bundle cardboard into a tidy pile and place next to your recycling bin
• Take large boxes, that cannot be broken down to a manageable size, to a Lower Hutt recycling station
• Take any glass that exceeds more than one bin to a Lower Hutt recycling station
• Sort your recycling and ensure it does not contain food contamination or used tissues
Thank you!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
