During Arts in Action street Artist and educator Harry McNiven will be creating a 'Junk sculpture wall' on our building. If you have an item of 'junk' please bring it along so it can be included and immortalised as a piece of Art instead of a piece of junk.
What we want: Plastic toys, figures, cars & dolls, old modems & phones, tools, small electric items such as speakers, kitchen gadgets, cutlery, other metal and plastic items.
What we do not want: Large electronics, furniture, objects that will decompose E.G, paper or card, food, clothing, sharp or dangerous items such as broken glass or ceramics.
Note# This is not a chance to get rid of large unwanted waste
In the pictures you'll see the space on the left and an example of what a section of the sculpture might look like.

Hi neighbours,

Some Papakura residents are so frustrated about their bin tags being swiped off their rubbish bins, they're coming up with some pretty creative ways to deter thieves. The pay-as-you-throw tags were introduced by Auckland Council in Papakura and west Auckland earlier this year and range from between $2.60- $5.50 a bin. To read more, click here.

Although the bin tags aren't city-wide, it got us wondering what other rubbish-bin issues were out there? Has your bin been stolen before? Do people fill your bins with their rubbish and recycling? Have you had lids or wheels broken off them? What extreme measures have you taken to make sure your rubbish gets collected? Let us know in the replies.
