The New Bins
My household is pretty good at recycling. Cardboard, paper, tins, plastic etc and glass all go out in the relevant containers. And we have a "green waste" bin for anything that doesn't either go into the compost or is not suitable for the worms or chooks. We have very little actual food or green 'waste / rubbish'.
So with the new system I have an immediate dilemma - what do I do with all those absorbent pad things the supermarkets place in trays under chicken, fish, meat etc?
Consulting Mr Google I find they're absorbent materials covered in perforated plastic - so they can't go in the food bin. But certainly NOT recyclable as they contain food matter. So they must be 'general waste?
NO, you can't put anything containing food into general waste!
So I'm imagining the pong, let alone flies, maggots etc if they DO have to sit in my general waste bin for up to two weeks - but I suppose I could I buy plastic bags to wrap them in so they don't cause a pollution problem to me or my neighbours in the interim?
Or should I take them back to the relevant supermarkets so they can deal with them?
Ok so I'm being a bit pedantic about this but have the council really thought about all the exceptions to the general 'waste' rule as I’m sure there will be other anomalies as well.
Poll: Does the building consent process need to change?
We definitely need homes that are fit to live in but there are often frustrations when it comes to getting consent to modify your own home.

TRANSFORM YOUR MASTER BEDROOM INTO A LUXURIOUS OASIS WITH THESE 7 DECOR ITEMS
Hi Neighbours,
Your master bedroom is your sanctuary – the ultimate escape from a long day’s work and stress.
But, have you ever felt like something was missing in your master bedroom décor?
That extra touch of luxury that elevates it from just another room to a space fit for royalty?
We’ve compiled a list of seven luxurious items that will transform your master bedroom into the oasis of your dreams.
To achieve a luxurious look in your master bedroom, several must-have items can elevate the overall decor.
Here are seven suggestions for your master bedroom decor and layout:
Statement Bedframe. Invest in a luxurious and visually striking bedframe as the centrepiece of your bedroom. Choose a design that complements your master bedroom decor and overall aesthetic, such as an upholstered headboard or a wooden frame, for a sleek and modern platform bed.
High-Quality Bedding. Opt for high-quality bedding materials like Tencel to add a touch of luxury and comfort. Choose soft and plush duvet covers, pillowcases, and sheets in neutral or rich colours to create a sophisticated look.
Plush Pillows and Throws. Add layers of comfort and style with plush pillows and cozy throws. Opt for bamboo gel, natural silk, or cotton pillows to create visual interest and enhance the luxurious ambience.
Mirrors. Introduce large, decorative mirrors or a dresser and mirror combo to reflect light and create the illusion of a more spacious room. Choose dresser and mirror combos with beautiful frames that match your overall master bedroom decor style.
Stylish Seating Area. If you have enough space, create a cozy seating area for your master bedroom decor and layout. Include a comfortable armchair or lift-powered recliner to suit your contemporary or traditional style. Use luxurious fabrics and textures for the upholstery, and consider adding a decorative accent pillow or a faux fur throw for added comfort.
Bedside Furniture. They help to give the room a more polished and finished look. When choosing end tables or nightstands for your master bedroom decor, look for ones made from high-quality materials such as solid NZ Pine.
Tallboy. This piece of furniture not only adds practical storage solutions but also provides an elegant and sophisticated look that enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of your room. Choose one made from solid NZ pine, engineered wood, or pine veneer.
Your master bedroom is your oasis away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
So how can you transform it into a place where you can relax and unwind in luxury?
