Is this the only option or are there better solutions? I observed in Barcelona a drop off point (i.e. hole in a shop window) where such smaller items were deposited. As batteries are becoming even more importantly strategic for lower carbon footprints ( is that so?) what are the best means of disposal for the long term?
Also, I have had to buy x number of electric drills over two decades because the batteries have died? Surely we should be in an age of repowering such items than increasing consumerism associated with a throwaway society. Has anyone constructive ideas please.

New electronic speed reduction signs at a notoriously dangerous intersection near Hobbiton haven't stopped calls for a more permanent solution.
The electronic 60kmh speed signs were installed last week and sit on both sides of SH29 just before the Hopkins Rd turn off.
But Chooky's Auto owner Darrell Conder, whose business sits on the intersection, says the signs have done little to slow drivers.

So what do you think should be done to reduce crash risk at this intersection?

That's well above the average for this time last year, of about 250 people in a day.

A lot of what we're putting in our recycling bins cannot be recycled.
Paul Evans, chief executive of waste management industry body WasteMinz, says in 2018 about 10 per cent of each Auckland household's recycling bin was "contamination" – items that people had put in hoping for the best, but which could not be recycled.

If you're in doubt whether something belongs in the recycling bin, the best practice is to simply leave it out.

Catherine Mosbach was surprised to hear what Garden Place was called, as she wondered where the gardens were.
However, she noted it could be used for various public events - an important factor for public space.
She also thought work on Victoria on the River was well done, said, but the foliage by the seats was "a little shy".

Do you think Garden Place is the right name for our central square?

The Ministry of Social Development (MSD) funds the costs of medical alarm services to its eligible clients through the Disability Allowance.
As part of this funding, MSD regularly negotiates with medical alarm suppliers to make sure their clients continue to get a quality service at a competitive price. This supports people to stay safe and independent in their own homes.
From 19 August 2019, there’ll be a small change in the weekly cost for medical alarm services. The amount may increase, decrease, or stay the same depending
on the supplier.
To make sure people stay safe, there’ll be no interruption to people’s medical alarm service. MSD
will write to people letting them know about the change and will automatically adjust the Disability Allowance payments of people affected.
If you have a medical alarm provided by a non-accredited supplier you can still get the cost of the alarm covered by your Disability Allowance. If you choose to change to a different supplier, you’ll need to choose an accredited supplier.
The assessment and application process for the Disability Allowance hasn’t changed.
The MSD-accredited suppliers of medical alarm services are:
ADT Security Ltd 0800 111 238 or 0800 238 272
Chubb New Zealand 0800 20 30 40
Freedom Medical Alarms 0800 380 280
St John Medical Alarms 0800 502 323
Red Wolf High Level Monitoring 0800 673 252
MSD is also adding more accredited suppliers soon. This will give people more choice when choosing a MSD-accredited supplier.

We asked the energy experts to breakdown the running costs of all our favourite winter warmers, so you can work out how to get the best heating bang for your buck.
And while it's no shock that firing up a 2Kw electric heater doesn't come cheap, the price of a warm bed for a toasty night's sleep might surprise you. Check out the full rundown, including electric blankets, hot showers, heated towel rails and more, here.
