With opaque supermarket bags no longer available, recycling is being put out at the kerb in thicker/dark bags. The collectors can’t see through the bags to check for rubbish or dangerous items. With 23,000 homes to visit, they can’t open and check each bag.
Help our district be awesome at recycling. Make sure it’s clean and put it in bins: Plastics (lids off, wash and squash) and aluminium/tin cans (wash); paper and cardboard (flatten); glass bottles and jars (wash).

Now more than ever, the fern seems to best capture the spirit of our country. If we look to our Māori roots, we are reminded of the twist or pikorua which resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns - a fern known for thriving in dark, damp areas of our woods. A reminder that difficult conditions can actually be an opportunity for tremendous growth.
The entanglement of the pikorua also has no beginning or end which is often used to represent an everlasting bond. Although we are all on our own path in life, in the end we always come back together - we are all connected through our interwoven lives.

Rapid changes in the recycling market mean almost all traditional markets have stopped importing used plastics. The council will consider all options this week, including only collecting plastics that recyclers will take.
The good news is that there is a market for clean plastic bottles in New Zealand.
Any change will be phased in to give residents time to get the info through a large range of channels.

First up - The amazing Dee Paranihi!
As a loved employee of the Graeme Dingle Foundation, Dee couldn’t pass up the amazing opportunity to explore Vietnam and help kids across Aotearoa at the same time. "We can all learn to believe what we have inside is greater than the things that stand in front of us, but we need to teach our kids this, we are not necessarily born thinking that way."
