Poll: Is losing your bin a fair way to stop recycling mistakes?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whakatāne District Council plans to crack down on residents recycling mistakes with a "three-strikes" rule - contaminate your bin three times and you could lose it for three months.

The goal? Less landfill, more proper recycling.

Another fantastic curry.

Dean from Masterton District

Another fantastic $13 lunch curry, rice and naan from Sultan Boofiya Kitchen which is just a little down and opposite Moore Wilson's.

Also comes with a can of drink, but I usually leave that as the deal is already really good value and quality, I want the owners to make a little bit more on them.

My go-to is at the moment Chicken Boona.

Rich tomato and onion sauce with a mild kick. ( If too hot, add a little cream to the curry )

Only a slight heat kick in my opinion.

I usually have half for lunch and the rest for dinner.

I do thoroughly recommend them and encourage you to visit.

My other favorites are lamb Rogan josh and mango chicken.

As I said, I have half for lunch and the other half for dinner.

It's fine microwaved a couple of minute and one minute for the naan.

I mean, you are paying close to and over $13 in the supermarket for a frozen one which aren't a patch of these freshly made ones.

Their chicken wings are good as are their Seekh kebab.
