Rubbish and recycling is changing next year.
A new weekly kerbside rubbish and fortnightly recycling service, paid for through rates, will be in place from 1 July 2021.
How will it work?
Recycling - For recycling, you will get a 240-litre wheelie bin for mixed recycling, and a 45-litre crate for glass both collected fortnightly.
Rubbish - For rubbish you will get to choose from three options:
• A 120-litre bin collected weekly (default option)
• An 80-litre bin collected weekly
• A 240-litre bin collected weekly
Green waste - You’ll also get to choose whether you want a 240L green waste bin, collected every four weeks.
What’s next?
We’ll be in contact with you later this year about bin options.
If you have a contract for your current rubbish collection, make sure you cancel it before 1 July 2021.
If you are a landlord you may wish to get in touch with your tenants soon about these changes.

Some Choice News!
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!
Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?
Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
