Wohoo! Plastic ♻5 is Polypropylene (PP), and can include take-away containers, hummus pots, plastic cutlery, medicine bottles, ice cream containers and more. Just check the number, wash, and recycle!
Here's what our waste minimisation officer thinks about the change (she's very happy)

Detailed information about what can be recycled and how to do it properly can be found on WDC's website, on the Weekly rubbish and recycling collection page in the "What can I recycle?" section.
This change brings our district closer to the proposed improvements to household kerbside recycling, which suggest to collect plastics 1, 2 and 5 nationwide, so it's a great step forward.

Kia ora koutou, Sunday 3 April (not this Sunday but the one following) will be the end of daylight saving, which means it's also time for another six-monthly test of the tsunami siren network in Northland coastal communities.
The sirens sound twice: firstly at 10am for 10 minutes and then again at 10.30am for 30 seconds, and will be monitored for any faults.
We're grateful for the ongoing support of Northland's two electricity networks (Northpower and Top Energy NZ) and the volunteers - mainly from Community Response Groups - who assist our team by monitoring the sirens on the day.
You can check out whether you live, work or play in a tsunami evacuation zone, and plan the quickest route to safety, using the interactive maps here: www.nrc.govt.nz...
More detail about the tsunami siren test can be found in this media release:

Firefighters are also on high alert, with helicopters at the ready, in case the wind causes flare-ups in one of three fires still burning in Kaipara and the Far North. This summer has been one of the worst fire seasons in decades, with nearly 3000 hectares burnt by four major fires, as well as numerous smaller vegetation fires.
