WE’RE GREEN AND WHITE AT SPRINGS, BUT WE WANT TO BE A LITTLE BIT GREENER Thanks to some innovative thinking at our club, and a grant from Auckland Council’s Waste Minimisation Fund, you will see new recycling and compost bins around our grounds.

After a recent audit, most of the rubbish found in our landfill bins comprised of coffee cups, paper food packaging and recyclable bottles. Aside from all that going into landfill unnecessarily, the bins often overflow on busy weekends. All that is about to change...

Material THURSDAY 14 JUNE Distribution THURSDAY 21 JUNE

Alongside the existing rubbish bins dotted around the turf, there are new yellow-lidded bins for mixed recycling and green-lidded bins for compostable rubbish. Food bought from the club cafe downstairs is sold in compostable packaging (thanks to Geoff and Tara), so coffee cups, lids, paper bags and plates can now be placed into the new compost bins. These bins are emptied by WeCompost who turn this waste into, you guessed it, compost! The yellow bins will take all the usual suspects that you are used to recycling at home, such as glass and plastic bottles, and aluminium cans.

All club members, players, supporters and visitors are encouraged to help us do our bit for the community and the environment by sorting their own rubbish.

WE WANT TO BE A LEADING CLUB ON THE FIELD AS WELL AS OFF IT. WE HOPE YOU’LL SUPPORT THIS SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVE, AND THAT IT WILL SPUR OTHER CLUBS TO FOLLOW OUR LEAD BY GOING GREEN!
