Recycling centre hopes boosted


A formal Expression Of Interest by Mahurangi Wastebusters to establish new community recycling centres at Snells Beach and Wellsford has been shortlisted by Auckland Council. Group founder Trish Allen told September’s Matakana Community Group meeting that they were now getting material together for the formal tender documents, which will be released later this year. “There’s lots of work to be done but we are excited to have made it through to the next stage,” she said. The leases for the waste transfer stations at Lawrie Road and Rustybrook Road come up for renewal in October next year.
