My Kind Neighbour nomination
Yesterday I used Neighbourly for the first time seeking recommendations to clean the gutter on my workplace. Ì had previously requested a quote from a company, and I thought they were actually having me on when I saw the figure. As i was unable to pay that, i turned to neighbourly for recommendations. This morning, enter Dianne Nortcott and her son, Theo, who had been "volunteered" for the task. 45 minutes later, they arrive with ladder, bucket, gloves and other utensils. The gutter was cleared of large amounts of turf - home to my pigeons - and then rinsed out. Dianne and Theo, i cant tell you how much I appreciate your kindness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Martha-Louise Asmus.
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.
