All of Wellington is affected and its likely full and comprehensive recycling will not recommence for at least several weeks. Maybe more. We have approached WCC WasteOps and they say recycling crews are still knocked over due to COVID. Over 25% of drivers and nearly 40% of the sorters in the Seaview recycling site. So if you can, please stockpile your recycling for a fortnight. Or take it down to sort at landfill recycling transfer station please. Otherwise what is put out and collected will be dumped in the landfill as they simply cannot store it to process it. We understand about 50% of Wellingtons recycling is being land filled (according to a news report on TV tonight). We appreciate this is frustrating as Wellington does try its best to recycle.

I'm worried about all the changes that have happened in my life but hoping to find a loving home to call my own. I am looking for an experienced person to care for me, and who has the patience to bring me out of my shell. My previous fosterer says that I can be a sweet girl in time, it just takes me a while to settle in. I enjoy playing with toys once I am comfortable and also hanging out next to humans I trust. I do have a small health concern to discuss. If you would like to meet me please don't hesitate to apply."

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.
In 1999, World Poetry Day was introduced, with the aim of promoting the reading, writing, publishing, and teaching of poetry around the world.
It is an opportunity to appreciate the power of poetry and how it can capture the creative spirit of the human mind.

After X-raying her chest in the weekend, the vet discovered the pellet from an air rifle is lodged in her chest cavity. Given that there is a feral cat colony between Luxford St and Te Wharepouri St and many of those cats or skinny black cats - my suspicion is that somebody might be taking shots at cats they believe are strays. Regardless of the why, this is not cool, and it is not safe. Just a heads up that if you live around the Te Wharepouri St / Luxford area and your cat starts behaving strangely - check for gunshot.
