Changes coming - Upgraded station Plastics types 1 & 2 only

The next phase of our Park Street Recycling Station opens tomorrow.
- 24/7 access
- Improved disability access
- New layout
- Glass bins still in carpark

Only plastics numbered 1 and 2 will be accepted.

Plastics numbered 3 – 7 will not be accepted at the upgraded recycling station as there are currently no domestic nor international markets for them. Plastics numbered 1 (such as soft drink bottles) can be recycled by Lower Hutt’s Flight Plastics. Plastics numbered 2 (such as milk bottles) are recycled by Budget Plastics in Palmerston North.

Always check for the number on a plastic container to determine if it can be recycled ( 1 or 2 only).

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
