Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Firewood retailers are warning consumers to watch out for "cowboys" selling wet wood on social media.

Demand for firewood in Christchurch is peaking ahead of winter, with wait times for bigger loads already stretching out to more than two months.

Are you prepared or are you struggling to get enough firewood this year?

Say goodbye to tyre waste

Tyrewise

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.

Find out more about the scheme online.
