Recycling collections on hold (again) due to illness (27/06/2022)
Hello,
GBRAI received from WCC notification that due to ongoing sickness amongst the recycling contractors, there will be no glass collection this week in wider Kingston/Mornington/Brooklyn. So unless you want to take a trip to the recycling centre at the council run Southern Landfill, in the Landfill Precinct, best you store the glass until Wednesday 13th of July.
Joys of winter ills inflicted on our recycling services again unfortunately
"Kia ora,
We are writing to update you on our recycling collections - please share this information with your community and networks.
Unfortunately, our waste collection contractors are once again operating at reduced capacity due to COVID-19. As a result, glass collections will be put on hold from Monday 27 June for an estimated two weeks.
Rubbish and co-mingled recycling collections will be prioritised, but delays are likely.
For health and safety reasons, residents should bring their glass crates back inside off the street until normal service resumes. In the meantime, they can stockpile their glass or drop it off for free at the Recycling Station at the Southern Landfill. Otherwise, glass can be wrapped and put in general rubbish.
We apologise for this disruption and will be in touch again soon with another update.
For the latest updates on collections and rubbish and recycling processing, please visit our website.
Ngā mihi,
Waste Operation"

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
