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.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
