Are you up with the recycling changes to come?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

If you’ll be chucking plastic into your recycling bin next month, there’s a change you need to be aware of.

From February 1, Hamilton is cutting down on the types of plastic taken for recycling, and will no longer accept “hard to recycle” types 3,4, 6 and 7 - and “bin cops” will be out issuing warnings.

It’s part of Aotearoa’s new standardised kerbside recycling strategy, under which all councils will only be accepting 1, 2, and 5 in kerbside recycling bins.

Hamilton's overburdened justice ecosystem

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It desperately needs to be bigger, but they are going to make it stronger instead.

There are not enough courtrooms to cater for the glut of cases at the Hamilton District Court, and according to the Ministry of Justice there won’t be any additional space in the foreseeable future.
