Recycling tips from WCC
Wellington City Council has put together a few reminders for us all on how to prepare our recycling properly.
Top tips:
- If you’re not sure what can be recycled, use the tool on the Council’s website (link below).
- When it comes to plastics, it’s as easy as 1,2,5 – they’re the items that can be recycled in Pōneke.
- Remember to wash all recyclables, but don’t squash them. Squashed items are harder for our recycling facility to accurately sort and so can end up being sent to landfill.
- Don’t forget you must remove lids from everything: bottles, jars, containers. Lids can be dropped off to be recycled at the Tip Shop at the Southern Landfill, some community centres, or at the Sustainability Trust, 2 Forresters Lane.
You can also refer to the attached guide for information.

We're taking the bus!
The number of Wellingtonians taking the bus and train rose by 3% last week compared to the same time last year, according to Metlink.
Not surprising given petrol prices at the moment. But if you're considering giving up your car commute for a leisurely bus ride in the mornings, it would be worth it.
It's about to get even easier: In April, e-pay will be launched, meaning you can tap on with your credit cards as well as smart devices.
It's better on the environment too: With most Metlink trains running on electricity, 25% of the bus fleet being EV’s and the Ika Rere electric ferry, Metlink is able to move more people using less fuel than any other transport option.
With fuel costs so high, it's a good idea to jump on board if you can. If you've become a public transport convert recently, how have you found it?
