If it's brown - it will break down.
Look for the ECO symbol and put it in the green bin.
All other packaging goes into the red bin.
The ECO symbol means "Event Compostable Only" – make sure you bin it at the event, and not at home.

Would you like to see the Sevens tournament in Christchurch? The World series visits Paris, London, Hong Kong and currently Wellington. But organisers say the windy capital is no longer the place to be and are looking elsewhere. Would you like to see it in our city?

Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!

Remember 86% of Kiwis want to get to know their neighbours better, but just don't see them around much (71%). Take the first step!
We have lost a set of 3 keys (one red, one gold and one silver). We think they have been dropped somewhere near the dairy on the Main Rd, Redcliffs, as we stopped here on the way home earlier tonight (Sat 28th) If anyone has found them, please contact Lyn on 021 721928 or 3765686....thanks
