The Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) that processes plastics, tin/aluminium and cardboard for the region is temporarily closing for essential heavy maintenance work to its recycling processing machinery and will be shut for two weeks.
Residents are asked to please hold their yellow bins for the fortnight 7–18 August. This means one collection will be paused for every Nelson household.
>>> “Week 2” residents please put out your yellow wheelie bins next week (24 July – 28 July) and then hold for two weeks. Your yellow bin will be picked up again as usual from the week beginning 21 August.
>>> “Week 1” residents please put out your yellow wheelie bins on the week of 31 July – 4 August and then hold for two weeks. Your yellow bin will be picked up again as usual from the week beginning 28 August.
Note: this shutdown will NOT affect glass recycling – blue crates can go out as usual.
