RECYCLING UPDATE

Communications from Hastings District Council

We understand it’s been frustrating not having full recycling services over the COVID-19 lockdown period, and we appreciate the community’s patience while we work through this.
The change to our new collection system and contractors has been interrupted by COVID-19 but we are pleased to be able to start to bring services back - see link at end of post for more information.

• KERBSIDE COLLECTION of plastic and cans for recycling will resume on July 1. Glass, paper and cardboard collections continues as normal.

• RECYCLING STATIONS for plastic, cans, glass, cardboard, and paper open at Henderson Rd and Blackbridge Transfer Stations today – Bookings essential. Martin Place remains closed while we work through safety issues given this site has potential for large numbers to congregate.

• RURAL RECYCLING – Staged roll out with bins back at Tutira, Poukawa, and Mararekakaho from this Saturday, May 23. Bins planned to be installed at Waimarama and Pukehamoana at the beginning of next week.

The rollout of the new black recycling crates is continuing and by July 1 serviced households should have the three crates as well as a 120 litre wheelie bin for general rubbish.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

At the post-Cabinet press conference, the National Party asserted they want public sector staff to return to the office. This has opened a conversation about other sectors in New Zealand who have adopted working from home (WFH).

Where possible, do you think employees should be able to work from home? Vote below and share your thoughts in the comments.
