Rubbish collection is returning to normal

The Team from Matamata Piako District Council

Rubbish collection is back to normal this week.

This means:

Rubbish in the black MPDC bag, will go back to being placed on the kerbside by 7.30am.

All clean plastics, paper, cardboard and tins can go loose in your wheelie bin

Glass can be placed in the green crate

Do not place rubbish bags in your wheelie bin.

We will not be holding anymore rubbish pop up sites as Morrinsville and Matamata Transfer Stations are reopen.

This week is Morrinsville’s recycling week.

Te Aroha and Matamata, your recycling week is next week.

If your recycling is already bagged in your wheelie bin, it will still be collected. But please ensure it’s loose for the next collection.

Next month we are making changes to plastic recycling - you can learn more in the link

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
