Only 8 more district councils to go before District Council E-Waste, Tyre, Oil and child car seat recycling facilities are on the site! It’s taking a bit of time, but I have also been refining the behind-the-scenes processes, so it’s getting easier to add new locations across categories. The time consuming part is picking through the different websites to make sure I don’t miss any locations!
(If you know of any locations not on the site, please do let me know!)
Car seats, with around 50 locations across the motu, is now live on RecycleMap. The scheme is run by SeatSmart, with many district councils and baby supply shops participating. 70% of the materials in car seats can be recycled (Straps, metals, plastics), but it’s a tricky thing to process, so unfortunately there are usually fees associated with dropping off your old car seats for recycling. The good news it that these fees are often subsidised!
In other news, we’re also now at 2988 marker locations, only 12 more to go until there are 3000 locations live!
