Room 7 visited the New Plymouth transfer station and landfill today. We learnt many interesting facts about the landfill such as that by June 2019 the landfill will be full and the rubbish will all have to be transported to South Taranaki. Last year 63000 tonnes of waste was put into the landfill. All plastics, except those with the numbers 1 and 2 on the bottom, end up in the landfill because they cannot be recyled in New Zealand. We all must reduce, reuse, recycle so that less waste is being taken to the landfill.
