COVID-19 update as March 2022
New Zealand is at Orange 🟠.
|
As the number of COVID cases in our community increases, we are asking for your help to ensure our waste and recycling collection services can continue as normal.
Like many businesses, we are preparing to be impacted by a staff shortage if isolation requirements mean our drivers and operators can’t get out and about to collect rubbish and recycling.
So, please, only put out your red and yellow bins if they are full. If your bin is only half full or only has a couple of things inside it, set it aside and put it out next week instead.

Kerbside recycling and rubbish collections are continuing as normal, please continue to put your red and yellow bins out on your designated day.
