Added location data for Kaikōura, Kaipara, Kāpiti Coast, Kawerau and Mackenzie District Councils.
Now at 1420 map markers across 10 different map categories.
Added marker data for Gore and Grey District councils.
On an unrelated note, the process for manually locating and entering the marker data can be incredibly frustrating at times, but also entirely validates this websites existence. Some council transfer stations are literally not locatable via the addresses or descriptions given. Sometimes a street that is several hundred metres long is the only address (“Dave St”). Others you might be lucky and it’ll be “Corner of “Frank St” or something, but a google street view or map does not show anything in the location, so who knows if it’s there or not. I have reached out to ALL councils of New Zealand, and had a mixed response, and so the process of manually tracking down as many transfer stations as possible, council by council, continues. I will not add stations that I am not comfortable with the location for.
Added map marker data for Christchurch City District for Paper & Cardboard, Glass, and Metals.
Now at 1211 Map marker locations across 10 map categories.
Added the recycling transfer and drop-off station data points for both Whakatane and Ashburton District Councils. Now at 1098 markers across 10 maps.
Tidied import process up a little bit to deal with special characters in place names.
Removed the “labels” from showing on the maps as for some of the more popular recycling maps, the labels were adding a lot of clutter.
Changed map behaviour so you now need to click on the markers/points to open the information window. Before, hovering the mouse would bring up the information and make the map move to that points location.
