Rubbish and recycling is changing next year.
A new weekly kerbside rubbish and fortnightly recycling service, paid for through rates, will be in place from 1 July 2021.
How will it work?
Recycling - For recycling, you will get a 240-litre wheelie bin for mixed recycling, and a 45-litre crate for glass both collected fortnightly.
Rubbish - For rubbish you will get to choose from three options:
• A 120-litre bin collected weekly (default option)
• An 80-litre bin collected weekly
• A 240-litre bin collected weekly
Green waste - You’ll also get to choose whether you want a 240L green waste bin, collected every four weeks.
What’s next?
We’ll be in contact with you later this year about bin options.
If you have a contract for your current rubbish collection, make sure you cancel it before 1 July 2021.
If you are a landlord you may wish to get in touch with your tenants soon about these changes.

We invite you to sign up to receive information as we begin to roll-out the new system.

International Volunteer Managers Day
Yesterday marked International Volunteer Managers Day. So throughout this week we will be spotlighting several amazing volunteer managers from across the Wellington region.
Liv has recently started managing a diverse team of volunteers at The Free Store Wellington. Here are some words about what she loves about her role!
Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day
We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.
It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.
Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.
