Waikato District rubbish fee hike sparks uproar

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Waikato District Council’s decision to double the cost of rubbish collection has ignited a storm of backlash, with residents taking to Facebook to voice outrage.

The announcement, made through a Facebook post earlier this week, confirmed that, from July 1, the price of rubbish bag stickers will increase from $1.50 to $3, and wheelie bin tags from $3 to $6.

What do you think about these changes in the Waikato District?

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
