This year Christmas and New Year fall on a Friday and our collectors are having the day off.
To make sure your rubbish and recycling still gets collected, we are doing a Christmas run on Saturday 26 December and a New Year run on Saturday 2 January 2021.
If you'd like to take advantage of this opportunity, please make sure your rubbish and recycling is on the kerb by 7.30am.
To help our contractors during the months leading up to Christmas and New Year, please only put a maximum of 1-2 bins kerbside per household.
Please also:
• Look for numbers on the bottom of plastics and only put out number 1 and 2
• Rinse and wipe clean plastics, tins and glass
• Bundle cardboard into a tidy pile and place next to your recycling bin
• Take large boxes, that cannot be broken down to a manageable size, to a Lower Hutt recycling station
• Take any glass that exceeds more than one bin to a Lower Hutt recycling station
• Sort your recycling and ensure it does not contain food contamination or used tissues
Thank you!

"Hi my name is Dimple and I have been in foster care while the canine team got to know me. I have come from a very difficult background, so I am looking for a very special home, without children, other dogs or small animals. I can be very wary of people and take time to bond with them, but once bonded I can be very smoochy. I can be very reactive while on a walk so will need a home that has experience with reactive dogs and will teach me through positive reinforcement that not everything is scary.
My foster mum has done a lot of work in socialising me with other dogs but I still have a long way to go. I am not keen on visiting dog parks or similar environments. I can be very affectionate, fun and quite the character once I'm comfortable in my space. I am toilet trained, and I do come with a medical waiver that my new home would be made aware of. If you are keen for a dog who you can put in the extra work with training then contact the canine team to learn more about me and set up a meeting if you seem like a good match!"

The next steps are geotechnical testing and site preparation, and early next year the project team will be working with the community on pool design. We'll also be looking at new sustainable technologies which will limit the impact of the pool on the environment.
All workers on the project will be paid at least the Living Wage and we'll be looking for opportunities for local companies and service providers.

"Continuing with the Christmas theme, this seems like a face only a mother could love. Like somehow evolution decided to put the turkey's guts on the outside of his neck, and what even is that dangly appendix bit between his eyes? Wiki says the longer your snood the more likely you are to successfully mate. No wonder he looks grumpy with all that going on on his face (although that could also be the time of year - December and American accents are known to cause extreme stress to his species). Male turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) in full sail. Staglands."
