From 1 August Kapiti Coast District Council is planning to close the Waikanae recycling facility on Park Ave. The Green waste will close the following year. 

Providing local facilities within each area of the district is the most effective way to reduce, reuse and recycle.

As local people we went to keep and have the local recycling facility enhanced to provide for more types of recycling. 

The community has not been effectively consulted on the proposals and the survey on which decisions are made is statistically unreliable. 

We wish to see the facility remain open on 1st August 2021 and for the council to work with the community from then and through 2022 to agree a long term solution to a recycling facility in Waikanae.
