Rubbish bag shortage in Porirua

Reporter Community News

The Porirua council and some supermarkets have run out rubbish bags.
The council says you may now leave a standard black rubbish bag at the kerbside and it will be picked up.
"Please use a black bag like the ones available at most supermarkets so it can be easily spotted from the truck."

The council says you may now leave a standard black rubbish bag at the kerbside and it will be picked up.
"Please use a black bag like the ones available at most supermarkets so it can be easily spotted from the truck."
Bags still need to weigh less than 15kg and won’t be picked up if they’re heavier than that.
This change will apply to March 32, to allow stocks to build up again.

Recycling tips for lids

Your awesome recycling efforts are making a real difference – thanks,

Porirua! Sometimes it’s the little things that get in the way of getting recycling right – things such as lids on your recyclable containers, glass bottles and jars that shouldn’t be in any of your recycling bins. The golden rule is that if it’s smaller than a credit card, don’t put it in your recycling.

Plastic and glass bottles – lids off, they’re rubbish Lids must not go into your recycling bin – you should put them into the rubbish. Unfortunately, there is no market for these plastics and our sorting facility will not accept them. If you want to recycle your lids, you can still do it – just sign up for the lid collection trial at the Sustainability Trust in Wellington: www.sustaintrust.org.nz

So, please remember to remove the lids before popping your plastic 1 and 2 bottles in the yellow, mixed recycling bin and take off any lids of your glass bottles and jars before placing them in the blue, glass recycling bin. Screw-on pumps or trigger sprays should also be removed and placed in your rubbish bin or, better yet, re-used if possible.

Tins and cans – lids inside If you are recycling your tins, please be mindful that the sharp edges of the lids can harm our sorters, who do this important job by hand – we want to keep them safe. Be a legend and tuck the lids of cans inside the tins before you put them in your recycling bin. Extra gold stars if you squash the tins down to keep the sharp lids safe inside!
