Rubbish collection is returning to normal

The Team from Matamata Piako District Council

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

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.
