Changes coming - Upgraded station Plastics types 1 & 2 only
The next phase of our Park Street Recycling Station opens tomorrow.
- 24/7 access
- Improved disability access
- New layout
- Glass bins still in carpark
Only plastics numbered 1 and 2 will be accepted.
Plastics numbered 3 – 7 will not be accepted at the upgraded recycling station as there are currently no domestic nor international markets for them. Plastics numbered 1 (such as soft drink bottles) can be recycled by Lower Hutt’s Flight Plastics. Plastics numbered 2 (such as milk bottles) are recycled by Budget Plastics in Palmerston North.
Always check for the number on a plastic container to determine if it can be recycled ( 1 or 2 only).

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
