A few minor updates

Tweaked wording on the Batteries, Polystyrene, and Plant pot map pages. In addition, the markers for Mitre 10 stores have been updated to feature the “Mitre 10 Orange” to make the maps more user friendly.

Mitre 10 stores added for plant pot recycling

All 80+ Mitre 10 stores have now been added to the plastic plant pot recycling map. This brings the total number of plant pot recycling locations available to 115. There are some subtle differences between Bunnings and Mitre 10 in terms of what is accepted for recycling, but both primarily are focused on clean plastic plant pots that have the #5 recycling logo on them. Mitre 10 will also take the plastic pot labels, whilst Bunnings does not (but they do take plastic stakes!)

Plastic Plant pot recycling locations added

31 Bunnings stores across the motu have been added to the plastic plant pot recycling map.

They “accept plastic plant packaging made from polypropylene plastic 5 (otherwise known as PP5). This includes all sizes of plant pots and stakes. Plant labels, even those made from PP5, cannot be recycled.”
