Here's a reminder from Xtreme Waste about recycling, as well as holiday hours, just in time for your summer holiday guests and parties =) Keep the folks at Xtreme happy during their holidays by bringing large amounts of recycling to the recycle centre, as they are extremely busy over the holiday period dealing with the increase!
Kerbside Recycling Basics
In the crate
Glass bottles and jars (no broken glass, crockery)
Aluminum and steel cans (washed and squashed if possible)
Plastic Containers 1, 2 and 5 (washed, squashed, lids off, NO meat trays, polystyrene or car oil containers)
Clear Film – bread bags and bubble wrap (contain in one bag)
Beside the Crate (secured)
Paper - clean and contained in a separate bag
Cardboard - clean, flattened and secured
NO Tetrapaks
Some Christmas wrapping paper is now made out of plastic, please rip the paper to check if its paper or plastic. We can only recycle wrapping paper made out of paper, not the plastic wrapping.
During the holiday period, the amount of recycling that is created is much more than normal. The kerbside collection truck is not able to collect large quantities of items like glass bottles, cans and cardboard in excess of the allocated two crates per household. Please bring large amounts of recycling and other reusable items to the recycling centre (for free) – 186 Te Hutewai Road.
Rubbish
In Raglan, rubbish should be disposed of in a pre paid rubbish bag, available from local supermarkets, dairies and petrol station.
Kerbside recycling and rubbish collections on Monday and Tuesdays by 8:30am (one day late after a statutory holiday)
