Recycling at the Tawa Community Centre
Small metal and plastic recycling: Did you know that bottle caps and jar lids are not recyclable through your kerbside recycling? This isn't because they aren't recyclable, it's because they are too small for the machinery.
We are now collecting small metal and plastic lids here at the community centre to take to the Sustainability Trust in town for recycling.
We accept clean, dry, and separated:
plastics labelled 2 (e.g. milk bottle tops)
plastics labelled 5 (e.g. yoghurt pot lids)
metal (e.g. metal jar lids and beer bottle tops)
We can't recycle:
any other small plastic items e.g. food pouch lids, dip lids, coffee cup lids
lids with a thermal seal inside (this often looks like a blue or white layer inside the lid)
waxy paper inserts (please remove if you can, we can still recycle the lid)
For more information, check out the Sustainability Trust's website: sustaintrust.org.nz...
A reminder too that we also recycle batteries here at the centre!
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.3% ... It is complicated
