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: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
