**Plastic recycling changes - 1 July**
From 1 July your kerbside collection company and transfer stations will only accept plastic types 1,2 and 5 for recycling. These types make up 87% of plastics and can be recycled in New Zealand into useful products.
Plastics numbered 3, 4, 6 & 7 cannot be recycled in NZ and will no longer be collected at the kerb. Please put them in your general rubbish bin. There are no changes to other types of recycling that will be collected such as paper and cardboard, glass and cans.
You can read more about why these changes are happening and what plastics 1, 2 & 5 are here: www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
