From Scoop
News from WCC:
With the Omicron variant of COVID-19 transmissions increasing around the country, Wellington City Council’s waste services are being affected. several of our waste collection contractors are unwell with COVID-19. For health and safety reasons the remaining crew will be prioritising rubbish and co-mingle recycling collections, so glass collections will stop until further notice.
…. In the meantime, residents can either stockpile their glass or drop it off for free at the Recycling Station at the Southern Landfill. Co-mingle items will be collected as per usual for the time being, but may go to landfill depending on the COVID impacted crew numbers at the recycling centre.
