Recycling closures

Hastings District Council will temporarily be closing two recycling centres to make health and safety upgrades. The Maraekakaho Recycling Centre will not be accepting recycling until Thursday this week and the Waimarama Recycling Centre will be closed next Monday and Tuesday (July 20-21). The recycling operation at Martin Place in Havelock North is being reviewed and a decision on when it reopens is dependent on the outcome. The review is to address the health and safety of the public and contractors, and ongoing issues of misuse of the centre including significant contamination of recycling, and general waste dumping.
