Rubbish bag shortage in Porirua
The Porirua council and some supermarkets have run out rubbish bags.
The council says you may now leave a standard black rubbish bag at the kerbside and it will be picked up.
"Please use a black bag like the ones available at most supermarkets so it can be easily spotted from the truck."
Bags still need to weigh less than 15kg and won’t be picked up if they’re heavier than that.
This change will apply to March 32, to allow stocks to build up again.

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day
We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.
It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.
Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.
