There are 16 people employed at the recycling and sorting centre in Te Awamutu. Residents in the Waipā district could also have their recycling bins audited, to see if there’s more advice needed around what can and can’t be recycled. It’s all part of an education initiative Waipā District Council and its recycling contractor, Metalic Sweeping, plan over the coming months. The two will use the new sorting centre in Te Awamutu to demonstrate what happens to recycling once it’s collected from homes. “We don’t have a market for them and we’re asking not to put them into recycling bins,” Braithwaite said.
