Free Sofa

Helen from Brooklyn

Very comfortable but well used. 3 seater sofa with recliners at both ends. No stains but discoloured on headrests. Would look fine with a throw over the back. Free to a good home but must be picked up by Wednesday 6th April. Has a metal frame so it's heavy - bring a couple of mates!

NZ Transport Agency (NZTA)

This amazing new motorway provides a safer, stronger and more reliable route for people and freight in and out of Wellington. And because it’s engineered to the highest standards, it can cope with the weather, storms and earthquakes we get in this region.

It’s an incredible piece infrastructure, and we can’t wait for you to experience it.

A heads-up, if you’re heading south don’t forget that Paekākāriki is the last exit for 15km – that’s a long detour if you miss your exit!

Recycling update

Simone Borgstede from Wellington City Council

Mōrena Pōneke.

Just a reminder that glass collections are still paused as several of our waste collection contractors are unwell with COVID-19.

In the meantime, residents can either stockpile their glass or drop it off for free at the Recycling Station at the Southern Landfill.

Mōrena Pōneke.

Just a reminder that glass collections are still paused as several of our waste collection contractors are unwell with COVID-19.

In the meantime, residents can either stockpile their glass or drop it off for free at the Recycling Station at the Southern Landfill.

Rubbish and co-mingled recycling are being collected as usual for now – but some co-mingled items may go to Landfill depending on staff capacity at the sorting plant on the day.

In the meantime, if you want to ensure all your glass collection is processed, you can drop it at our Recycle Centre, or stockpile until we are back to full capacity

We apologise for this disruption. Our thoughts are with our contractors and we wish them a speedy recovery.
