A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

In response to Pauline's letter on Saturday:

For months now we have only been able to recycle grade 1 and 2 plastics. The items you mention in your letter are grade 3 to 7 plastics, so unfortunately those end up in the landfill. You need to go to Specsavers and look for the number inside the triangle, some of them are quite small.

We too are annoyed that all plastics are no longer recyclable, but those are the rules that we all must abide by in Gisborne. As a suggestion — two litre ice cream tubs do come in handy for storing various other items around the house, but you can only use so many of them!
