Collectors are still out picking up your rubbish.

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

Collectors are still out picking up your rubbish. Recycling wheelie bins will be emptied but sent to landfill, as the regional sorting plant in Petone is closed at Level 4; glass bins will not be collected.

We recommend you hold on to your recycling and greenwaste if you can until things are a bit more normal.

You have a couple of options:

♻️ wash your recycling well, and store for recycling once the transfer stations reopen
🍃 stockpile your greenwaste till your collection restarts, or the transfer stations reopen
🍏 start your own home composting.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

Paper Shredding

James from Waikanae

I will be doing a lot of paper shredding over the next few weeks. Is there anybody who would like the shredded paper. I don't know if you can use it for hamsters and other pets, maybe it could go in your compost.

Just let me know if you want some.
