ANZAC Day 2020

The Team from Matamata Piako District Council

Things are going be a little different this ANZAC Day. While we can’t come together as communities in the literal sense, we can stand together as one nation.
Everyone in our district is invited to participate in the RSA and New Zealand Defence Force Stand at Dawn event, to honour our Returned Service men and women and those who continue to serve.

Head to your mailbox at 6am on 25 April, or wherever you feel most comfortable to do so in your own space to commemorate ANZAC Day.

Mayor Ash Tanner will have a special ANZAC Day Facebook message for our communities at 10am, 25 April.

Please remember lockdown guidelines around physical distancing during this event and don’t burst your bubbles.

Say goodbye to tyre waste

Tyrewise

About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.

The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.

Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

Find out more about the scheme online.
