Wellington currently has a residential recycling program that collects types 1 and 2 plastics, glass, tins and paper1. As part of their program to make the city cleaner and greener, they are implementing a public recycling program. There will be around 80 fixed recycling bins placed around the city to collect recyclables that don’t make it back to a house. This will give options to tourists and locals alike. Now I shouldn’t have to stop in at a café or store along the way and ask if they have a recycling bin.
1 I’m still holding out hope that they will eventually accept more plastic types. The bulk of the containers available at the grocery stores are type 5.
