Kerbside recycling is coming back

Communications from Hastings District Council

From Tuesday next week, on your normal collection day, we will resume kerbside recycling collection for glass, paper and cardboard only.

▪️Put it out on the usual collection day before 7am, but to help cope with the quantities at this time, please don't put all your stored items out all at once.

▪️We don’t have an exact date for when plastic and can collection will re-start. This material is sorted manually to be recycled for market, and at the moment this can’t be carried out safely. As soon as the situation changes and this service can be resumed safely we will begin collecting plastic and cans again. Please continue to dispose of these items in your orange council rubbish bags, or clean and store them

▪️Public recycling stations remain closed, including rural green bins.

▪️The delivery of new recycling crates, which was suspended at Level 4, will resume from Tuesday next week.

▪️Henderson Rd transfer station remains closed to anyone but account holders. Work is underway to get it open to the public. Official council bags can be dropped off for free during opening hours.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
