On Friday we had Lesley Ottey come to talk to us about a new initiative aimed at encouraging recycling and reducing our landfill.
We can now recycle soft plastic bags including bread bags, frozen food bags, toilet paper packaging, confectionery and biscuit wrap, chip bags, pasta and rice bags, courier envelopes, shopping bags - basically anything made of plastic which can be scrunched into a ball.
Soft Plastic Recycling Bins are now provided at these 4 supermarkets in Rangiora.
New World Rangiora
Countdown Rangiora East
Countdown Rangiora Central
Pak 'N Save Rangiora
Until there are facilities in New Zealand, these soft plastics will be sent to Australia where they will be made into park benches and fitness circuits for playgrounds.
