Christmas recycling reminder

The Team from Marlborough District Council

There's lots to recycle at this time of the year but please don't overload the crate, especially if there’s a breeze. If it’s windy, place your black refuse bag on top of the recycling – it helps hold down any loose items.

Your crate shouldn’t be overflowing and don’t leave stuff on the pavement - collection trucks can only pick up the contents of one crate per household.

While Christmas wrapping paper can be recycled, shiny foil wrapping cannot - it has a plastic content that’s not suitable for recycling.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
