Trying to work out where I can drop some used clothes I don't need anymore.
I'm in Waiwhetu and was wondering where the nearest clothing bins are?
The one near Te Whiti Park and Woburn station seems to have disappeared.

It's been a good start to 2018

With lots of people heading out of the Wellington region for the Christmas and New Year period we saw a massive decrease in demand. And a bit of rain on the side means some of the water in our storage lakes has been replenished.
There is still a ban on residential sprinklers and irrigation systems around the region.
We are not yet half way through summer, so keep encouraging your neighbours to #watcheverydrop.
We will be celebrating some of the communities this summer who #loveeverydrop, so keep your eyes peeled.

I do not understand why people cannot keep new pets inside for a couple of weeks for settling down time and getting the smells of new places, so sad they are now lost and have no idea where to go.

I still have this tabby who had 4 kittens here I am in the process of catching them to go to the SPCA, I already have 3 cats and two dogs. but PLEASE get them microchipped and used to a place before you risk them outside, it is so sad. I KNOW it is hard watching every time you open a window or door but if you love them and want them to stay it has to be done

I need a loving caring person to look after me, preferably with no other animals or small children. In return I will give you lots of cuddles and always be at home with you.
Why are my parents giving me away...because I pee everywhere inside the house. They gave me a dirt box but I still pee everywhere. The vet told them I do it because I am anxious.
So if you can offer me a home please pm my mum as soon as possible
thankyou Simba

Three major art galleries are temporarily closed or closing in Wellington and Porirua over the summer. Luckily the Dowse is staying open.

This Christmas when you cook a succulent ham, crank up the BBQ, and tuck into some trifle, remember to pour leftover fats, oils and food scraps into the bin, not down the drain.

#Fatbergs (clumps of congealed fat) clog and damage your pipes, and could cost you thousands of dollars to repair if the damage happens within your property boundary.
You don't want to start the new year with a big plumbers bill!
Watch what you're putting down the drain this festive season and keep fatbergs away!

Last summer we embarked on an ambitious project to make a dent in the wasp population in the Nelson region. We fundraised and were able to lay 390km of bait lines in some of the region's most popular recreational areas, effectively making 10,000 hectares wasp free.
This summer we are delighted to announce we are expanding the programme to other parts of the country which are also affected by high wasp numbers. Vespex is laid in bait stations in late January and February when wasps change to a protein-based diet. It is of low toxicity and safe for bees. Results from last summer showed it has a 95%-99% success rate.
While a small amount of work is Government funded, we're going to raise more funds to get as many areas baited as possible, and we need your help. Go to our Popshop page to contribute to a wasp-free region
So join us in the battle. The more we raise the more areas we can cover.
