Deplorable recycling

Recycling is important. Tauranga city refuse collectors make recycling difficult.
A bag marked ‘recycling' to be used kerbside, should be introduced, particularly in this day and age.
As a low user I only make one bag of rubbish in six weeks, so I don't need a wheelie-bin plan. But I can't get rid of recyclables kerbside. I have no car so can't got to a transfer station.
A lot of needless stuff must be going to landfill. That's deplorable.

It should be a New Zealand wide initiative. The Government should be looking at Germany's recycling plan - they reuse plastic and glass drink bottles /jars, have collecting stations where you get a refund for dropping off your plastic and glass, have kerside recycling collection, we are doing way to little in New Zealand.
