No expansion of this service is envisaged during the term of this WMMP. 4.1.7 Kerbside/direct recycling collection action planning table This service currently uses 55 litre containers on a weekly uplift and has been operational since 2010. The introduction of wheelie bins for co-mingled recycling collection (card, paper, cans and plastics) and the retention of the existing crate for collecting glass will be reviewed during the term of this WMMP. Switching the system to co-mingle would require alterations to the sorting equipment inside the resource centre where the kerbside materials are taken for processing. The Rural Community Recycling programme, if approved, will be utilised to service Renwick, Grovetown, Spring Creek, Tua Marina, Rapaura and Rarangi. The containers used in this programme would allow the community to recycle the same range of materials collected by the kerbside service. The introduction of a PPRS, if approved, to Blenheim or Picton would enhance the region’s recycling profile.
