Dog Expired in Car
Hi All. Just a reminder to keep our dogs cool and safe as summer has arrived. Sadly a dog died in a vehicle in Northland yesterday from being accidentally shut in a vehicle. Remember also that if you cant stand the pavement/sand temperature on your bare feet then likely your dog can't either. Thanks in advance everyone.
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
