I love our way of life
I started dieting when I was 12 years old. I wasn’t overweight but I felt pudgy and I wanted a new boy at school to like me. Somehow, I obtained a calorie counting book and quickly memorized it. Each day, I tried hard to reach my goal of eating a certain number of calories. It was well below what I needed to eat as a growing child, but I didn’t see it that way at the time. I just wanted to get rid of my squishy stomach and eat a little less.

Recycling collections hugely affected by CV19 (Monday 21/03/2022) - update #2.

Carl from Brooklyn Residents Association Incorporated

Due to CV19 infections of collection drivers and the city's recycling centre sorting staff in Seaview, for the second week in a row much of Wellingtons recycling is going to be sent to the southern landfill.

The excerpt below is from the WCC website stating glass is being landfilled and much of the mixed recycling (paper, metal, plastic) is going to the landfill also. They may take a portion but it is very dependent on how many staff turn up at the sorting centre. So for wider Brooklyn (Brooklyn, Kingston, Mornington, Vogeltown) and Owhiro Bay/Happy Valley, Aro Valley Berhampore and Newtown - for which this week is glass collection week - if you an hold your glass for another collection cycle (in a fortnight) we urge you to do so. Or if you can, please take to the recycling centre at the Southern Landfill and put your glass into the huge glass recycling bins. We hope for a full and speedy recovery to the affected drivers and sorting staff.

Rubbish, recycling and waste-
Rubbish and recycling collection

Status: Limited collection (no glass), limited processing (co-mingle)

Details: We are currently not collecting glass.

Rubbish and co-mingled recycling are being collected as usual for now - but some co-mingled items may go to Landfill depending on staff capacity at the sorting plant on the day.

With Omicron in the community, it’s important to note that there will likely be further changes to our levels of service at very short notice.

Contactless delivery for recycling wheelie bins.

In the meantime, if you want to ensure all your glass collection is processed, you can drop it at our Recycle Centre, or stockpile until we are back to full capacity, otherwise please wrap glass and put it in your general rubbish collection.
