Poll: Should Christchurch households have separate glass recycling?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Two Christchurch City councillors are pushing for the city to consider a separate glass recycling system to bring it up to speed with the rest of the country.

Phil Mauger and Aaron Keown have submitted a notice of motion for of next week’s council meeting, asking staff to complete their kerbside waste collection review so separating glass could be considered as part of the 2022-23 annual plan.

Mauger said it was important for “glass out” to be included, so ratepayers could have a say on what happens to their glass.

“Most people in Christchurch believe if they place a glass bottle in their yellow bin, then it will be recycled into a bottle again. But that isn’t the case.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
