The South Taranaki District Council (STDC) is encouraging South Taranaki District residents and the people in their bubble to make use of their recycling and build a sculpture out of it.
"Recycling and rubbish collections have changed since we all entered Covid-19 level 4, and the red lid general waste kerbside wheelie bins are the only ones being collected so if you're storing up recyclables until collections start again, why not use it one more time?" says South Taranaki mayor Phil Nixon.
The council will provide prizes in the form of vouchers that will support local businesses and the local economy, once everything is back to business as usual.
The competition started April 6, and runs until Wednesday, May 6. More information can be found on the STDC Facebook Page and STDC website.
"These are unprecedented times, and we need to do what we can to stay home and keep safe, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun while doing it," says Victoria Moyle, environment and sustainability officer at STDC.
