Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So how’s it going?
You will have a glass bin and mixed recycling bin https://wellington.govt.nz/rubbish-recycling-and-waste/when-to-put-out-your-rubbish-and-recycling/suburban-and-inner-city-collections they go out alternate weeks. Rubbish goes into yellow bags you get in 5 packs from the supermarket, usually kept at the checkout. Ask for them there.
Looks like they are in Auckland and you’ve linked to the Wellington page. But likely it works in a similar way.
It’s also possible you can get a rubbish wheelie bin from a local company. I’m not in Auckland but normally the cost of collection is paid for in when you buy the rubbish bags, so you aren’t paying twice if you use a wheelie bin from a private company. They also often let you choose a smaller bin, have fortnightly collection, and other options like that.
True, ignore me then, i read that as they had moved from Auckland.
We have council wheelie bins here and pay for tags for each collection.
I’m guessing they don’t have a problem with people using “recycling” wheelie bins as rubbish bins when clearly marked with a rubbish tag, as that must’ve been what the previous owner was doing.
