Three recycling truck fires in three weeks in Auckland
Hi neighbours, Auckland Council has issued a warning to residents about disposing hazardous waste proper after three recycling trucks in Ōtara, Lynfield and Sunnynook. Gas cooker canisters or lighter fluid cans may have been responsible for one of the fires. Another led to 6 tonnes of recyclable material going to landfill. The story below has some tips for people who aren't sure how to dispose of products including paint, gas cylinders and batteries.

Thanks for the Speed Tables, Auckland Transport!
Thank you Auckland Transport, for the new speed tables on Palmers Road and Weymouth Road.
Getting them all done together made it less of a pain and now these streets feel more like they are designed for 30kph.
Driving at 30 is very different to the way most of us were trained to drive, so it helps when the street design tells us it is OK to go slow.
Don't be a try-hard, let that engine idle in gear and cruise your neighbourhood in style. Wind a window down and enjoy.
Everyone benefits from safer roads and crossings, but especially the tamariki on their way to and from the bus stops, kindies, schools, playgrounds, reserves, dairies, community centres, library, pool and mall.
Great job AT!
