Changes to plastic recycling collections
Kia ora. Don’t forget that as of this coming Monday 20 July, we will only be accepting plastics numbered 1, 2 and 5 in kerbside recycling, Public Place Recycling bins, and at the Recycle Centre.
Plastic products are marked with a number from 1 to 7 showing what type of plastic it is. This number is usually found inside a triangle on the bottom of the packaging. If you can’t find a number, then it needs to go in your rubbish.
Visit wellington.govt.nz/sortyourrecycling for a full guide, FAQs, and more information about how to sort your recycling.

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