Ministry for the Environment funding announced
Big news – we’ve received $20.5 million in funding from the Ministry for the Environment. This will go towards the new collection bins and an upgrade of Te Maunga Transfer Station.
What does this mean for you?
• We’ll be able to include No 5 plastics in recycling from 1 July
• The cost of the kerbside service goes from $230 to $210 for the first year
Once the new kerbside service starts, visits to the transfer station will no longer be necessary for most of us. For that reason, as well as ongoing contamination issues, Maleme Street Transfer Station will close to the public from 2 August. This may be disappointing news for regular users, however Te Maunga will be available for all services.

A PRICELESS GIFT
Hello everyone
The restriction on giving blood in response to the outbreak of ‘Mad Cow’ Disease in the UK (restricting anybody who lived in the UK between 1980 and 1996 from giving blood) was lifted 29 February 2024.
So, for the first time in over 30 years I donated blood last Tuesday. I am again able to give a priceless gift that may very well save a life – and all for just 1 hour of my time.
So, for whatever reason you haven’t given and would like to, I encourage you to find out more about how you can donate.
There is a lot of info on the NZ Blood Website.
