Great to see our team working with other waste providers to spread the word about responsible recycling.   As we all know, wish-cycling is a problem in New Zealand, with people throwing items in their recycling bin hoping it will be recycled, despite there being no way it can be.   Branch Manager Tracy Reuben has shared this video which shows our WM trucks delivering Hutt City Council’s recycling to Oji Fibre Solutions, as well as some very important messages to the public:  - Non-recyclable items in the recycling stream can contaminate the entire load, making it unusable. It can also damage the sorting equipment. - Sorting facilities have to spend extra time and resources removing non-recyclables, slowing down the entire recycling process. - There are people who have to deal with the dirty items that you throw into your recycling! https://lnkd.in/gyA22C3q

As we look ahead to National Recycling Week, it’s essential to reflect on the importance of sustainable practices in all aspects of business

When it comes to recycling, how we collect it is just as important as what we collect!  While Aotearoa New Zealand has standardised the materials collected at kerbside, the way we collect recycling still varies. Some councils still use a co-mingled method (everything in one wheelie bin), which requires additional sorting and means more of your recycling is contaminated and ends up in landfill 😩 So, if you're still chucking your glass into a recycling bin with everything else, and you want to see more of it actually make it to the furnace to be recycled, make sure you let your council and councillors know you want separate glass collection. Together we can divert glass away form landfill! 💪🍾

What a great and important video.

Educating people about polypropylene recycling is critical. The latest report from The Recycling Partnership highlights why this matters: improving how we recycle polypropylene can prevent tons of plastic from landing in landfills. By investing in community education and smarter recycling systems, we can drive positive environmental change. Recycling polypropylene isn’t just about waste—it’s about creating a sustainable future with less plastic pollution.
