Recycling and Rubbish Collection - Here is how to find what day for your street

Dave Neighbourly Lead from Kelvin Grove

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!

As I put out the recycling today in Palmerston North, I see (as is common after the holiday period) that some of us have lost track of which week is our turn for the Glass Crate or the Recycling Wheelie Bin to be put out for collection.

Also, if you have new neighbours moved in over the Christmas/New Year period, they may not yet be sure about which day of the week to put rubbish bags out.

Never mind, it is easy to find Rubbish Collection and Recycling information and times for your address, on the respective Council websites;

Can I also ask that Please, do NOT overfill the wheelie bins, the lid MUST be properly closed and not bulging, otherwise our famous Manawatu winds blow the lid open and then blow your cardboard and plastic all down the street!

For PN City residents - PN City Council
General info - also links to what is rubbish, and what can be recycled;
www.pncc.govt.nz...

What day for my street; type in your address;
www.neighbourly.co.nz...

and on the results page, they give you the correct download link, for either the Week 1 or Week 2 PDF wall calendar that covers the current 12 months.

For all other Manawatu residents - Manawatu District Council;
General Info;
www.mdc.govt.nz...

What day for my street/village; type in your address;
www.mdc.govt.nz...
and there is a download link on that page to the MDC Recycling Wall Calendar PDF too.

I hope that helps ease the confusion! and if a neighbour has got the wrong day, or the wrong bin, be a good neighbour and let them know what the details are for your street!

Slow Woven Textile Studio Open Day

Natasha from Ashhurst - Pohangina

Hi Neighbours! I am a weaver and fibre artist who works with natural fibres to create beautiful, one-off pieces inspired by the native plant life of Aotearoa.

Join me in my Ashhurst studio next Sunday, the 4th of January, for the Slow Woven Textile Studio monthly open day. You can learn about weaving, enjoy demonstrations and even weave your own cute and colourful mug rug to take home for free.

I share the studio with my dad, rural artist Graham Christensen, and his work will also be on display.

Sunday 4th of January, Open 10am-4pm
84 Glenburn Road, (off Napier Rd) Ashhurst.

Please note that number 84 is at the very end of Glenburn Road - so wind your way up the hill and it's at the very top.

The studio is open to the public on the first Sunday of each month.
