Rubbish collection changes

Cathy McIntosh from Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board

Auckland Council has signed new contracts for waste collections across mainland Auckland for the next 10 years.

Rubbish collectors will be using new and improved routing, so residents may notice the rubbish truck arriving at a different time of the day.

Please ensure you place your bin out by 7am on your collection day to avoid missing your pick-up.

This is a huge step forward in the council’s move to make our domestic waste collection services consistent across the region and reduce waste

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
