Changes to landfill drop off - Waste Bylaw

Simone Borgstede from Wellington City Council

A recent recycling survey showed that 93% of Wellingtonians recycle, and 87% believe it’s worth taking the time to do it properly. With that in mind, we’ve made some changes to help Wellingtonians recycle right when they visit the Southern Landfill.

As part of our new Waste Bylaw, these items are no longer accepted in the landfill. Instead you can drop them off at the recycling and composting services on site:

♻️ Green waste
♻️ Electronic waste
♻️ Recyclable paper and cardboard
♻️ Glass bottles and jars
♻️ Steel and aluminium cans
♻️ Tyres

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
