Waste collection: Red (general) & Blue (glass)

Non recyclable rubbish
Your rubbish bin / ipupara
This is your wheelie bin with the red lid, and it’s just for rubbish.
When green waste goes to landfill it creates methane, a greenhouse gas much more potent than carbon dioxide.
Instead of putting it in your red bin, consider composting or using our green waste collection.
Did you know? I get collected weekly.

Your glass recycling crate / pouaka kara- he
This is your blue open-top crate, which is just for glass
YES

Glass bottles
Glass jars

Remember: Rinse bottles and jars to make sure they’re clean.
NO

Lids
Tableware and Pyrex
Broken glass
Light bulbs
Mirrors or window glass

Tip: One person’s waste is another’s treasure. Keep an eye out on noticeboards and social media for opportunities to save useable items from going to landfill.

Your recycling bin with the yellow lid / ipu hangarua
This is your wheelie bin with the yellow lid, and it’s just for rubbish.
I get collected on yellow weeks. When incorrect items end up in the wrong bin, they contaminate the recycling / ipu hangarua, which can mean the whole truckload ends up going to landfill. That’s why we need to make sure the only thing that goes in our yellow bins is the stuff that’s too good to waste.

What can be put in the Yellow bin?
YES

Paper and cardboard
Tins and cans
Plastic containers marked with thes esymbols, often embossed on bottom of item
Plastic symbols 1,2,5

NO

Speed Change to 50 kph for Eastern Bays
2023-10-01
Following consultation with the Eastern Bays community earlier this year, from 1 October there will be a reduction in the speed limit along Marine Parade between Whiorau Lowry Bay and Sunshine Bay, from 70km/h to 50km/h. This will improve safety for all road users, including those walking and cycling, while maintaining a consistent speed limit along the Eastern Bays waterfront.
More information and a map is available at hutt.city/EBspeedchange.
