A Challenge to all Local Bodies to equal or beat the ZERO rates increases already decided by some.
Many people, organisations and businesses have tried to ease the pain of Covid-19 by donating/volunteering or cutting/suspending costs. Others of course have felt the full force of the virus so are unable to do so - they may be the beneficiaries of the former. Worse still some have gone to the wall and there may be worse to come. One area where savings appear to be possible is local authority charges including rates. I see some have got the message but others are still to see the light.
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
