Rubbish and Recycling
We are expecting a busy time for our rubbish collectors over the summer holidays, especially on New years day – Monday 1 January – when there will be a lot of recycling to collect. Our contractors have brought in extra people to help manage the additional work load but there still may be some delays to the usual pick up times.
We ask people living in the following areas to expect potential delays.
Remember that there is no charge to drop off recycling at the rural transfer stations. Read more about our transfer stations here: ► bit.ly...

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
35.4% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.6% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Rubbish dumping
Can whoever is dumping their rubbish down the bank on Memorial Drive please stop. The Pack and Save bags for life that you're using are probably just as expensive as the council rubbish bags that you can also buy at Pack and Save.
