This Saturday is recycling day again – time to clear your drawers of your collection over the last month!
A reminder that what we collect each month is:
- Plastic lids type 2 – must have the type 2 recycling symbol marked.
- Plastic lids type 5 – must have the type 5 recycling symbol marked.
- Metal Lids
- Razors and shaving equipment
- Oral care products and packaging (Please note, from next month we will only be able to recycle Colgate product – now is a good time to clear out anything else).
- Household and hearing aid batteries.
- Curtains – mould free.
- Unused balls of wool
- Bread bag tags.
- Rubber bands from delivered Dominion Posts
A new addition to our list each month is tetrapacks – these are taken and processed into wall boards, so an exciting addition to our collection. Please make sure they are empty clean and dry.
We also have a schedule of larger items that we will collect each month, and June is the month for small metal items. Aluminium, copper, steel and all other metals accepted. Please make sure these are clean and dry. Small means they fit into a supermarket bag. Next month we will be accepting ewaste items, which we will take to the recycle shop at Wellingtons landfill (not TV’s and monitors).
