ReUSING Aluminium Cans

Simon from Snells Beach & Mahurangi East

Going out to the wider neighbourhoods, so apologies for the double post.!
Evening all! Aluminium Cans! Beer Cans, Soda Cans... Anything a magnet won't stick to, that isn't plastic :) (not food cans for example)

Going out to the wider neighbourhoods, so apologies for the double post.!
Evening all! Aluminium Cans! Beer Cans, Soda Cans... Anything a magnet won't stick to, that isn't plastic :) (not food cans for example)
I've got a project underway that requires vast amounts of aluminium. Each can provides aluminium about the same size of a 10 cent piece. So! I'm looking for hundreds of cans, but every ONE will help.

If you have a few aluminium cans put them aside - once you've got 10 or more, drop me a line and I'll come pick them up, or drop them at my letterbox down Gerontius Lane (msg me for more info!)

If anyone knows any place of business that would go through a reasonable amount of canned drinks, and is happy to put them aside I will gladly collect. Having tried the recycle depot and cited health and safety(fair enough) and contacted a large number of bars and restaurants everyone seems to have gone glass

With warmer weather heading our way, gardening is a great way to stay fit and get regular doses of Vitamin D to help strengthen our bones.

The Home Safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to avoid falls, sprains and strains while pulling those stubborn weeds. For example, when you’re gardening avoid heavy lifting and use long-handled tools so you’re not bending over for long periods. Steady yourself when bending and standing, no pesky weed is worth falling for!

A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.

Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.
