Ngongotaha Village Recycle Centre
The old saying 'if you don't use it you may lose it' comes to mind.
The Ngongotaha Village Community & District started a Recycle Centre due to the need identified for our area.
However within 12 months of the opening date of our Community Grown Recycle Centre, RLC decided to offer Kerbside Recycling.
You may not know but we do take Polystyrene and many other things that cannot be placed in the Kerbside Bins, we are open each week for Recycling, not just fortnightly. Gold Coin Donation. We have an attendent who is willing to help you with your recycling, on arrival. You don't have to get a bin to the gate.
WHERE ??
Please come and check our 'Community-led Recycling option;
On site at the Gull Service Station Ngongotaha
(looking at the Service station we are over to the right back corner)
Every Sunday 12pm-2pm
We also have a small Community Garden at the Ngongotaha Centre and invite offers of help with appreciation.
So...as I started...
'If you don't use it, you will lose it'
Christmas is coming and you will have loads of Polystyrene to rid yourselves of...we have decided to take it, because we want to keep; road sides, ditches, streams, cycling tracks, clear of rubbish such as Polystyrene.
Thanks and we look forward to seeing you soon.
Kind Regards
Lynn
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
