Let's get recycling right this Christmas!
A lot of waste is generated in the holiday season. We all want to make sure as much as possible is recycled to reduce the amount of rubbish - so it's important that we're putting only the right things into recycling bins.
Items like wrapping paper, Christmas decorations, soft plastics, nappies and electronic goods can't go in your recycling bin. When these contaminate a truck load, the whole lot then ends up in the landfill.
If you have lots of recycling, please use the Council Bulk Recycling Facility at the end of Broken Hill Rd.
You can check what can be recycled on the Council website: poriruacity.govt.nz/recycling
• There will be no changes to household rubbish and recycling Council collections over the holiday period.
• The recycling facility at Broken Hill Rd will be closed 25-28 December and 1-4 January
• Council rubbish bags can still be bought at most supermarkets and dairies
For more information visit poriruacity.govt.nz/recycling email enquiries@poriruacity.govt.nz or call 04 237 5089.

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!
