Recycling Paint Cans
Just got a huge shock when I brought in four mostly empty cans (total of 22 liters) of old paint to Resenes. Last year they charged 25 cents a liter to take the paint. This morning the charge went up to $30 ($10 for a large can/bucket). I declined and took the cans back home. While I always appreciated Resene’s offering this service (don’t think Bunnings does) there is no way I can afford to pay these kinds of fees to recycle all the old paint cans I have collected over the years. What was once a service with a charge to cover costs now seems to be profit driven.
One can only imagine where this stuff will now end up.
Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
