RECYCLING STATION AT THE COMMUNITY CENTRE

We are super excited to have now set up a small recycling station here at the Brooklyn Community Centre. Some of you will know we have been accepting liquid paperboard (Tetra Paks and similar) – currently we are the only drop-off point in Wellington – and household batteries since late last year. Now we have added to this with items that we can take to the Sustainability Trust to save you having to do so – and hopefully stop a few more things from entering the landfill. The recycling station is in the foyer outside the main office – to the left as you enter the main door to the building.

The full list of items we can accept are:

Liquid paperboard (Tetra Pak and similar)

Lithium ion (e.g. rechargeable batteries) – Please tape lithium battery terminals prior to dropping off

Nickel cadmium/alkaline batteries: AA, AAA, 9V, C, D, N Zinc air (e.g. camera batteries)

Silver zinc (e.g. laptop and hearing aid batteries)

Other household batteries

Mobile phone batteries

Metal jar lids Number 2 and number 5 plastic lids (please keep them separated)

Small metal items (e.g. drink bottles, clothes hangers, kitchen utensils)
