When is recycling NOT recycling?
NZ BE AWARE! Esp. Wellington region, but I bet others will follow or are already there.
Hutt Valley (upper and lower) will no longer accept plastics 3-7.
Porirua and Wellington are ALREADY sending most of them to landfill, from our recycling bins. (ok, some type 5 goes to Malaysia but we don't really know what happens then)
Kapiti won't say what it's doing with theirs.
That leaves plastics 1 and 2, eg milk bottles and soft drink types.
Ice cream containers, "reusable" takeaway containers, shampoo/cleaning bottles, bottle lids, almost all of it is now landfill.
We need to be more aware about our waste, not feel good 'cause it can be chucked in a recycling bin! :-(

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
