      <title>WCC Revists Earlier Assessment Not to Provide RECYCLING WHEELIE BINS to Hobson St</title>
      <link>http://thorndon-residents.blogspot.com/2012/11/wcc-revists-earlier-assessment-not-to.html</link>
      <description>Recycling wheelie bins were introduced across the city in 2011; but not to the properties in Hobson St, situated on the Thorndon Flat.&#xD;
&#xD;
Residents from Hobson St recently re-approached the Council regarding the earlier assessment of their street as being not suited to Council supplied recycling wheelie bins. The early assessment had indicated that Hobson St had a high volume traffic flow (similar to Tinakori Rd), and that due to the road width there was potential to block access to emergency services.</description>

      <link>http://wccwatch.wordpress.com/2010/11/03/recycling-changes/</link>
      <description>Many households over Wellington will have got a letter from the council this week asking if they would like their regular green recycling bin to be replaced with a 140 litre wheelie bin (or plastic recycling bags if you’re property isn’t “accessible”).</description>
