We have been told - hopefully accurately - that since the WCC contractors hand sort the recycled glass into clear, green & brown glass bins into the back of the individual glass bins on the trucks, then emptied into separated glass type rail wagons and taken to the glass factory in Auckland, these are not going to the landfill.

Small businesses are vital to the recovery of our economy.

During the Covid-19 restrictions, business owners have shown initiative, hard work and resilience to keep afloat.

But many have been hit hard.

Lack of clarity about just how heavy the toll of the restrictions have been on individual businesses and their ability to quickly rebound adds to the uncertainty of the national economic recovery.

Therefore, Prosper is launching a survey targeted at finding out the scale of Covid-19's impact.

You can take that survey right now – it will only take a few minutes.
