Rubbish collection is returning to normal
Rubbish collection is back to normal this week.
This means:
Rubbish in the black MPDC bag, will go back to being placed on the kerbside by 7.30am.
All clean plastics, paper, cardboard and tins can go loose in your wheelie bin
Glass can be placed in the green crate
Do not place rubbish bags in your wheelie bin.
We will not be holding anymore rubbish pop up sites as Morrinsville and Matamata Transfer Stations are reopen.
This week is Morrinsville’s recycling week.
Te Aroha and Matamata, your recycling week is next week.
If your recycling is already bagged in your wheelie bin, it will still be collected. But please ensure it’s loose for the next collection.
Next month we are making changes to plastic recycling - you can learn more in the link
