Market this Saturday
The forecast is for another fine morning this Saturday (haven't we been lucky weather-wise on Saturday mornings lately!), so one more reason to come down to Grahamstown to check out our wonderful stalls. Stock up on preserves, find a piece of jewellery, order some firewood, get seedlings for your winter veggie planting, buy a T-shirt for the warm days still to come, fill up the fridge with tasty vegetables, take home some doggy treats - Thames Market offers something for everyone.
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.
