Let's get recycling right this Christmas!
A lot of waste is generated in the holiday season. We all want to make sure as much as possible is recycled to reduce the amount of rubbish - so it's important that we're putting only the right things into recycling bins.
Items like wrapping paper, Christmas decorations, soft plastics, nappies and electronic goods can't go in your recycling bin. When these contaminate a truck load, the whole lot then ends up in the landfill.
If you have lots of recycling, please use the Council Bulk Recycling Facility at the end of Broken Hill Rd.
You can check what can be recycled on the Council website: poriruacity.govt.nz/recycling
• There will be no changes to household rubbish and recycling Council collections over the holiday period.
• The recycling facility at Broken Hill Rd will be closed 25-28 December and 1-4 January
• Council rubbish bags can still be bought at most supermarkets and dairies
For more information visit poriruacity.govt.nz/recycling email enquiries@poriruacity.govt.nz or call 04 237 5089.
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?
