Battery recycling

Simone Borgstede from Wellington City Council

Did you know you can recycle your household batteries for free?
We have created seven drop-off stations around the city where you can take your batteries to be separated for re-use, recovery and re-processing.
The locations are:

๐Ÿ“ Island Bay Community Centre
๐Ÿ“ Karori Library
๐Ÿ“ Kilbirnie Library
๐Ÿ“ Newlands Community Centre
๐Ÿ“ Tawa Community Centre
๐Ÿ“ Te Awe Library (CBD)
๐Ÿ“ Tip Shop at the Southern Landfill

Used batteries are no longer allowed in your kerbside rubbish as they can leach harmful chemicals into soil and waterways, so itโ€™s important to keep them out of the landfill.

Head to our website for more information.

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

What is first white then red and the plumper it gets the more the old lady likes it?

Euan from Hataitai

The Great Wall Takeaways is closing this Tuesday for the last time, as the owners are retiring. The Hataitai Hot Bread Hop is moving in from next door.
