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.

Marketplace Has Its Deplorables

Michael from Trentham

Have had a fair share of trouble selling items through Marketplace in recent months.

Have had the scammers, and "buyers" who have change their minds on going through with the purchase after all arrangements made, but not advising of such.

But just yesterday a guy took out the award for the best try.

Got a 2008 Forester SUV for sale at just over $9000.

This would be purchaser wanted to pay me weekly for the vehicle.

Yeah, right.

If the vehicle was for under $3000 there might be an element of sensibility. I suppose when one is short of cash aiming high provides some kind of relief mechanism.

The Subaru Forester with a low mileage of 148000km, a tow bar, many features and in good to great condition all round is still available.
