We are happy to confirm that our contractors are feeling better and glass collections will start again on Monday 18 April.

We know there will be a bit of a backlog, but we ask that you please only put your glass out in official Council crates, and put it out in stages so that we don't overwhelm the processing plant.

You can still drop your glass off for free at the Recycling Centre at the Southern Landfill.

Co-mingled recycling in bags and wheelie bins is still being collected and recycled as normal.

Thank you all for your patience, kindness and empathy during this time. It is greatly appreciated by us and our contractors.

**RESCHEDULED Neighbours Day Event**
We invite you, your family, friends and neighbours to join us at Hataitai Village Green to celebrate Neighbours' Day 2022 and the International Festival of Food.
We will also be officially launching our new fence mural - The Dancing Fence.

Recently a fence mural project has been undertaken, led by local artist Peter Coates, where many nationalities have been painted in their traditional dress, dancing together to show what a multi-cultural society we live in here in New Zealand.

This will be an outdoor BYO food and drinks event so bring a picnic blanket -let's hope it's a fine, sunny day! We suggest you bring a favourite dish of your chosen country with you.

In the current conditions we may not be able to share food but a wonderful suggestion is that we share recipes of national dishes.

To do this, we'd appreciate it if you could email me (by 15 May) to franceslefort@gmail.com a recipe for your favourite national dish, we'll compile a booklet to share with whoever in the community wants it.
