Recycling at the Tawa Community Centre

Community Centre Advocate from Tawa Community Centre

Small metal and plastic recycling: Did you know that bottle caps and jar lids are not recyclable through your kerbside recycling? This isn't because they aren't recyclable, it's because they are too small for the machinery.

We are now collecting small metal and plastic lids here at the community centre to take to the Sustainability Trust in town for recycling.

We accept clean, dry, and separated:

 plastics labelled 2 (e.g. milk bottle tops)

 plastics labelled 5 (e.g. yoghurt pot lids)

 metal (e.g. metal jar lids and beer bottle tops)

We can't recycle:

 any other small plastic items e.g. food pouch lids, dip lids, coffee cup lids

 lids with a thermal seal inside (this often looks like a blue or white layer inside the lid)

 waxy paper inserts (please remove if you can, we can still recycle the lid)

For more information, check out the Sustainability Trust's website: sustaintrust.org.nz...

A reminder too that we also recycle batteries here at the centre!

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
