Recycling update
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.
