We are moving towards only accepting tetrapaks which have been opened flat and rinsed. This is due to the state of some cartons that we have been receiving, opening them up makes rinsing so much easier, and this is what the recyclers are asking for.
Transporting liquid in tetrapaks to the Hamilton factory adds unnecessary weight, and downgrades the quality of the end product.
Here’s a helpful video from Hamilton City Council (it refers to Hamilton drop off points – Ngaio Union Church is your local drop off point, 10 to 12pm. first Saturday of each month).
