Te Puke recycling to trial new opening hours

Te Puke Recycling Centre is extending opening hours from September for a three-month trial.

The centre will open from 8am to 5pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays with Saturday hours remaining the same from 8am until 4pm.

Western Bay of Plenty District Council has been granted resource consent to extend the hours in response to community demand.

The extended hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays will enable people to drop off their recyclables on their way to or from work.

The three-month trial starts on Tuesday, 4 September and ends 29 November 2018.
