Poll: Is losing your bin a fair way to stop recycling mistakes?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whakatāne District Council plans to crack down on residents recycling mistakes with a "three-strikes" rule - contaminate your bin three times and you could lose it for three months.

The goal? Less landfill, more proper recycling.

Whanganui Police are investigating a fatal crash in Castlecliff on Sunday, and are appealing to the public for any information.
About 4.10pm on Sunday 25 May, a motorcycle crashed into a parked car on Seafront Road. Sadly, the 25-year-old male rider died a short time later.
Police would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the crash or saw any motorcycles in the Castlecliff area from 2pm to 6pm on 25 May.

Disappointingly, after the rider crashed and before emergency services arrived, a group of people on motorbikes took the crash victim’s bike. We need the public’s help and want to hear from anyone who can help us identify those individuals, or anyone who has descriptions, photos, or video of them.

We are also asking people in the Castlecliffe area to check their road-facing CCTV, or dashcams, and contact us if they have any footage that may help us.

If you know anything about the crash or where the motorcycle may have been taken, please get in touch.

You can contact Police online at 105.police.govt.nz, clicking "Update Report" or by calling 105 and quoting file number 250525/2731.

For the 11th time, you’ve voted us your Most Trusted Brand and that means the world to us.

Because trust this strong doesn’t happen by chance. One year? That’s nice. Ten years? That’s a perfect score. But eleven? That’s off the charts.

You feel it in the little things, like the barista who knows your coffee order, the gardener who prunes your roses just right, and friends who feel like family.

That’s trust built over time, through shared experiences, thoughtful gestures and communities who care. It’s that feeling of trust that sets us apart.

Whether it’s your first visit or you call a village home, that feeling of trust is what sets us apart.
