Junk Mail
Does anyone know who I could complain to about junk mail?
I have a "please no advertising" sign on my letterbox.
It used to work.
But now who ever is delivering the advertising has loaded up my letterbox and its now falling on the ground.
I have not emptied the letterbox for a few weeks now and they cannot fit anymore junk mail , so now they have started putting it on top of the letterbox.
Because my letterbox is so laden with advertising, I wonder if the mailman will bother putting my genuine mail in the box?
I purposely replaced my old letterbox with a small one to deter advertising mail.
Do you think they should make a new regulation, that you should only receive advertising if you have subscribed to it?
If the person delivering the advertising can see the box is full, why do they keep trying to put more in it and on it? And on the ground? Is this legal? Its littering.
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.
