You'll soon find out as council officials start checking yellow recycling bins over coming weeks.
From Monday a four-strong team will be carrying out spot checks on 7500 bins across Christchurch and Banks Peninsula to ensure residents have not put the wrong items out for recycling.
If you get it right? You get a gold sticker slapped on your bin.
But if you've mixed your shopping receipts, bottle lids or plastic bags in with your beer bottles and plastic trays you can expect a note in your letter box with tips on how to recycle correctly.

Hi Neighbours, we are looking into teenagers' internet habits and keen to hear your experiences of your children's use of the interweb. We'd like to know, has your teenager skipped meals in order to spend time on the internet?
We have a large amount of flax and other scrubs that need removing. anyone with this expertise known or could give a quote please.

Suffice to say that when I read Stuff this week, I was overjoyed when to see that New Worlds were getting some more sets of the glasses, well how short lived was my joy, (did I miss something in the fine print????)
Today while picking up some bits and bobs from New World Bishopdale, I happened to ask when the new glasses will be available again, only to be told that none would be coming south to the Mainland.
Well what a smack in the face to the hundreds of thousands of loyal mainlanders, the big middle finger has been raised to the mainlanders once again, obviously our money is not good enough, it’s not enough the Northeners win all the major Lotto draws, they get preferential treatment for Nation Wide Promotions,
SHAME ON YOU NEW WORLD, are we not good enough, why the divide, are we not one Country, one team, we play together, we win together, we also lose together, for me, I will not support any further promotions from New World,
I won’t be raising my glass to you again.
Ps, I love my local New World

It is understood that the owner lives overseas and the house is empty. (See photos below).
There is an invasive weed growing on the property called Californian thistle and it needs to be removed immediately before the thistle seed/flowers spread. This thistle has also grown tall and fallen over onto the footpath where it will be kicked/knocked by pedestrians then easily spread; or, the flowers will disperse and spread as soon as there is a light breeze.
I am an ex farmer and know the only way to eradicate this type of thistle is by spraying however if these thistles get to dry off, they will not only spread throughout the neighbourhood but they will also become a fire hazard.
I have informed the Council and Environment Canterbury but I don't expect they will act as urgently they should.
Does anyone know the owner personally? Could you contact him/her to let them know about it and inquire why the property is not being maintained?
If you live near the property, I encourage you to notify the council - more complaints will likely get some action.
If you are thinking of selling please call me your local Ray White agent 0800 YELLOW and let us get you a great result
