Recycling update
Mōrena Pōneke.
Just a reminder that glass collections are still paused as several of our waste collection contractors are unwell with COVID-19.
In the meantime, residents can either stockpile their glass or drop it off for free at the Recycling Station at the Southern Landfill.
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.
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
We apologise for this disruption. Our thoughts are with our contractors and we wish them a speedy recovery.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
32.6% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
67.4% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
