Tauranga City Council will resume its kerbside glass collection service from April 11.
Council's Manager for Sustainability and Waste, Sam Fellows said the return of glass collections was a welcome sight to see.
"We're delighted to resume the glass collection service and see our region's kerbside collection drivers get back behind the wheel after self-isolating as household contacts or positive Covid-19 cases.
"We appreciate everyone's understanding and patience during this trying time as we've adjusted our service to ensure the wellbeing of our contractors and the health and safety of our community.
"Our community does a fantastic job of recycling and I know they will be pleased to see the sight of an empty glass crate again soon," Fellows said.
