The new North Shore rubbish bin collection starts from Monday 9th April, but you can still use orange bags until 29th June.
* The new tags are on sale now from the same places where you buy bags.
* The collection of rubbish bins with tags on them will start from 9 April.
* The orange bag collections will stop on 29 June.
* There are NO changes to rubbish collection days. Rubbish will still be collected weekly (although you can save money if you put it out fortnightly).
* The tags can't be stolen - if they are removed they tear and are unusable.
* The yellow bag system is not affected by this change.
You can use the old 140 litre recycle bin (blue) that you've been storing for the new rubbish collection, or you can order a new 120 litre bin (green/red). There is also a smaller 80 litre bin and larger 240 litre bin that can be ordered if needed.
Tag cost:
* 120/140 litre (orange tag - most common): $3.80
* 80 litre (blue tag): $2.60 (promotional price, will be increasing to $2.90 later in year)
* 240 litre (green tag): $5.50
If you need a new bin, call council on 09 301 0101 or fill out this form online: www.makethemostofwaste.co.nz...

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!
