Wood chipping for our garden

Amber from Westmere

Hi there, I am looking for someone who has a wood chipper and is interested in doing a small job on our Westmere property. We have a pile of tree cuttings that I would like to have chipped and put back on the garden. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you.

Say goodbye to tyre waste

Tyrewise

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.

Find out more about the scheme online.
