Yellow bin recycling pause coming to an end

21/08/2023 4:00pm

Yellow bin recycling is back to normal for Week 2 residents this week! Week 1 residents >>> your yellow bins will be collected as normal from next week (week beginning 28 August).

Note: this does NOT affect glass recycling – blue crates can go out as usual.

We paused one yellow bin collection cycle for every Nelson household while 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.
