Glass recycling starts again next week!
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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
