Recycling collections hugely affected by CV19 (Monday 21/03/2022) - update #2.
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.
Local Builders for All Types of Work
Hi There!
I've been lurking on Neighbourly for quite some time now, and I've yet to post. So here it is.
I'm a qualified licensed builder with a small team of tradesmen. We do all manner of residential building work, be it minor repairs or full house builds.
We thoroughly enjoy the work we do, and we aim to do the best we can every time.
Last year we were building three large townhouses near Waterloo Station, and this year we have built numerous decks, done some bathroom and kitchen renovations, a few roofing jobs and various maintenance work.
We are currently in the midst of a fairly complex renovation, and in the coming months we will be starting a large re-clad and window replace job and a new architectural house build.
Anyway, if you're looking for a builder or have any work you'd like to get done, feel free to get in touch.
Cheers!

Poll: Should employees be able to work from home?
At the post-Cabinet press conference, the National Party asserted they want public sector staff to return to the office. This has opened a conversation about other sectors in New Zealand who have adopted working from home (WFH).
