?!GET YOUR GLASS RECYCLING READY RAGLAN!?
This week, Wednesday 22nd & Friday 24th April kerbside collections will include your glass recycling! Because we can send mixed glass to OI in Auckland without any hand sorting, it’s the safest recyclable for us to collect at this stage. Thank you for being so awesome storing these at home so far ? we 100% appreciate you. Now to help keep this next part smooth and safe here’s some DO’s and DON’Ts for us all:
(bucket, chilly bin, fishing crate)
but not so big we can’t lift it (no bath tubs)
DON’T put glass recycling out in cardboard boxes
or bags, these might get mushed in the rain
or fly away after they’re emptied
⭐️ DO make sure glass bottles and jars are all washed & lids are removed ?
⭐️ DO put glass recycling out in solid containment (bucket, chilly bin, fishing crate) but not so big we can’t lift it (no bath tubs ok ?)
⭐️ DON’T put glass recycling out in cardboard boxes or bags, these might get mushed in the rain or fly away after they’re emptied ?
⭐️ DON’T put any mixed recycling out (plastic, tin, ali, cardboard or paper) we will leave your crate behind if we spot something not glass ?
⭐️ DON’T put out glass windows, mirrors, lightbulbs, drinking glasses, or sunglasses ?
Rural Residents we are working on a plan to be able to pick yours up soon, and we thank you for your patience! Whaingaroa whanau, all your support has been great ? big cheers to you!
