Rubbish collection is returning to normal
Rubbish collection is back to normal this week.
This means:
Rubbish in the black MPDC bag, will go back to being placed on the kerbside by 7.30am.
All clean plastics, paper, cardboard and tins can go loose in your wheelie bin
Glass can be placed in the green crate
Do not place rubbish bags in your wheelie bin.
We will not be holding anymore rubbish pop up sites as Morrinsville and Matamata Transfer Stations are reopen.
This week is Morrinsville’s recycling week.
Te Aroha and Matamata, your recycling week is next week.
If your recycling is already bagged in your wheelie bin, it will still be collected. But please ensure it’s loose for the next collection.
Next month we are making changes to plastic recycling - you can learn more in the link

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
