North Canterbury's new BMX track just a few sunny days away from opening
The completion of a world-class BMX track in Rangiora has been setback by wet weather, but riders could start using it soon.
North Canterbury BMX Club president Aaron Clark says he could not give enough praise to the volunteers and earthwork contractors Ongrade for their "amazing work on the project", but a spate of wet weather had put them behind schedule.
"We were meant to have all the asphalt completed before Christmas, but there was so much rain in December. Then we had a timeframe of the 14th of January, but of course we've had more rain so it's looking like February now."
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.
