It truly is an AMAZING experience!! I took visitors there today - they had the MOST AMAZING experience. The Kiwi were about 2 inches from us with glass in between - natural foraging for bugs. Then we met FLASH - the Tuatara. If you haven't been here yet - put this on the Bucket List. And, if you have visitors - even better - because this is one of the BEST ways to see our unique wildlife.

The red bin will remain, for steel and aluminium cans, and for plastics type 1 and 2 only. No other plastics, please, as they contaminate the recyclable plastics and make the whole bin go to landfill! Both bins will be collected on the same day of the week.
Let's get ready for this change, tell our neighbours, and keep an eye out for new information on WDC's Recycling web page over the next few weeks. "I didn't know" or "nobody told me" doesn't count!
