Container wins for residents and businesses

BYOC - Bring your own container

Te Awa Kairangi ki Tai / Lower Hutt has heaps of takeaways boasting delicious dishes from all over the world, and will usually package your kai in plastic containers to take home.

All this great food means lots of plastic containers, so next time you head out for a takeaway, be sure to take your own containers which you can use again and again. Reusing beats recycling every time.
