Grade 5 plastics can now be recycled
Grade 5 plastics have now been added to Porirua’s kerbside recycling collection and bulk recycling facility at Spicer Landfill.
This type of plastic was initially excluded from our city’s plastics recycling in early 2020 as Oji, the sorting company that takes the recycling, did not have the space to process it.
Many everyday items are made from grade 5 plastics, such as most yoghurt, margarine, ice cream and takeaway containers, and plastic plant pots.
Just look underneath the item for the number 5 recycling symbol to see if it’s eligible to go in your yellow recycling bin. If there’s no symbol at all, it’s best to leave it out.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
