Record Identifier248Date Range3-7 March 2022DescriptionWCC posted this news story on the Council Website during the Omicron phase of the pandemic.
"With the Omicron variant of COVID-19 transmissions increasing around the country, Wellington City Council’s waste services are being affected and asks the public for patience and understanding."
"UPDATE #1 7/3/2022:
Unfortunately several of our waste collection contractors are unwell with COVID-19. For health and safety reasons the remaining crew will be prioritising rubbish and co-mingle recycling collections, so glass collections will stop until further notice.
If you have already put your glass out today it will be collected either today or tomorrow, but after that it will be paused. In the meantime, residents can either stockpile their glass or drop it off for free at the Recycling Station at the Southern Landfill. Co-mingle items will be collected as per usual for the time being, but may go to landfill depending on the COVID impacted crew numbers at the recycling centre.
We apologise for this disruption. Our thoughts are with our contractors and we wish them a speedy recovery."
