Croad Place Recycling Facility Open

Croad Place Recycling Facility Open

South Waikato District Council is pleased to advise its community that the Croad Place recycling facility in Tokoroa is open to the public.

“Our community is welcome to drop household recycling direct to the centre,” said Phil Burt, Council’s Infrastructure and Maintenance Manager. “We know that many people in our community have stockpiled their recycling until we started processing recycling as normal. This is very much appreciated and shows fantastic commitment to the environment and waste management.”

Residents are reminded that the while the centre is open, household recycling collections are still going to landfill, until coming weeks when all recycling (including from the recycling drop-off zones) will again be re-directed through our normal recycling processing facility.

“This will be the final step towards returning to our normal waste management service,” said Mr Burt.

The Croad Place recycling facility is open normal hours, Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm; Saturday and Sunday 9am to 1pm.

May Prattler on-line Now

May Prattler on-line Now

Use the 2 side bar options to open either The Prattler as a pdf or a page turning version. Either version is interactive for some items such as the special Easter presentations that were created.

The print issue was preceded by a a smaller pdf version earlier in May.

The Prattler will be physically delivered this Wednesday 27 May and there has been a re-adjustment of some future publication dates as we work around Covid restrictions.

These dates are, as always, available on the Prattler section of the PiP website.

My usual practice of hand delivering to our advertisers can’t take place for this edition so please accept this as a personal thank you for continuing to support The Prattler.

The Prattler on-line blog has just started a complete make over. This will happen over about a month so there will be some noticeable changes/disruptions from time to time as it will be happening ‘live!’

All previous blog posts before this one are now removed, (about 500 of them) in order to keep access times as fast as possible.

Congratulations to The Plaza, SWIFT and the SWDC for their ‘shop local’ initiatives.

We hope you enjoy the May Prattler which was produced under NZ Covid Levels 4, 3 and currently 2, conditions…
