You’ll be able to recycle:
- Clean glass beverage and food jars - green, clear, brown (no lids)
- Clean plastics -numbers 1, 2, 5 only (no lids)
- Clean tins and drink cans
- Flattened cardboard and paper
And just like with any recycling service, contamination can be a problem! So please rinse your recyclables, flatten your cardboard, and remove lids.
Just a reminder that the trailers do have a limited capacity, so please only bring "kerbside amounts" of recycling. This service is not intended for commercial use, stockpiled or large items like fridge boxes. Things like that should go to our recycling centres.
If you're unsure of anything, there will be a Council team member on-site at all times to answer questions and help you sort your recycling.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.

Neighbourly Q&A: Renting rights with CAB's Sacha Green
We are continuing our Q&A sessions on Neighbourly. This week we have the amazing Sacha Green from Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand (CABNZ) who will be answering your questions about your renting rights.
A little bit about Sacha:

One of Sacha’s work areas is leading the CAB’s social justice work on housing and tenancy issues.
Whether you're a flatmate, landlord, boarder or flatmate, you can leave a comment below and Sacha will share an answer on Wednesday from 9.30am. You may want to ask about notice periods, bond fulfillment, reasonable rent increases, or even whose responsibility it is to deal with mould in the home.
