While they land up eventually in the landfill, which itself causes no adverse environmental effect, I still see bags ripped by birds, dogs, cats etc. This means the contents is sprawled across the street before the truck even arrives. A lot of that rubbish, including plastic, is then washed down the stormwater and into the sea, before the truck arrives. We have better alternatives like wheelie bins, so I encourage you to think further than the cheapest option for your pocket. Think of the best option for us all. Thanks

Many people setting up paddling pools for their children this summer will be breaking the law - are you one of them?
Any pool, fixed or portable, deeper than 400mm is now subject to safety provisions under the Building Act, meaning there a quite a few rules you probably aren't even aware of.
