Kerbside recycling to be gradually reintroduced at Alert Level 3

Steph Rangi Reporter from Taupō Times

Kerbside recycling services will be gradually reintroduced across the Taupō District from Tuesday 28 April, when we move to COVID-19 Alert Level 3.

Council is asking people to adhere to the following recycling schedule to ensure our trucks and sorting facilities can cope with the expected increase in demand and uphold the government’s strict health and safety and social distancing measures:

Week One (Tuesday 28 April – Friday 1 May): Glass Only. There will be no kerbside recycling on Monday 27 April under Alert Level 4 lockdown rules.

Week Two (Monday 4 May – Friday 8 May): Glass, Paper and Cardboard Only.

Week Three (Monday 11 May onwards): Normal recycling collection resumes.

Along with the gradual reintroduction of kerbside recycling, council’s landfill and transfer stations will also reopen to the general public from Tuesday 28 April, with the following exceptions:

No recycling accepted at Taupō, Kinloch, Turangi and Mangakino due to high health and safety risks.

Eftpos only – no cash accepted.

Sites will have customer limits using the facility, so please expect delays.

Omori to remain at current service levels – only prepaid bags please.
