Delays to rubbish bin roll out
The latest information from the council on the rubbish bins.
"Kia ora Lower Hutt, the terrible weather at the weekend meant not all of the new rubbish and recycling bins could be delivered as scheduled.
We're doing a big push and all bins should have been delivered by end of day Wednesday, except for properties that have been contacted and are receiving rubbish bags until their bins arrive in July
Suburbs that will have their bins delivered today and tomorrow are in Wainuiomata and include Homedale, Parkway, Glendale, Arakura and Moores Valley. We are also continuing to make deliveries to apartments and townhouses across the city.
We appreciate your patience and understanding and want to reassure you that you will have your bins in time for the new service starting.
If you are not in Wainuiomata, or in an apartment or townhouse – and haven't heard from us directly – please contact us if you have not received your bins. Phone 04 570-6666/ 0800 HUTT CITY or email us at binchanges@huttcity.govt.nz"

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? 💚
