A great boost to your home compost. Volume varies but about the equivalent of 4/5 x10 litre buckets of coffee grounds and vege scraps. You collect on your rostered weekend from the back of the deli in their large buckets, wiz home and empty them, hose the tubs out and return to the deli. PM me for more details or to join the roster.
Thank you so much to Boomerang Bags for donating a stand loaded with beautiful recycled bags, hand sewn here in Karori. Anyone is welcome to pop in to Karori Community Centre and borrow these bags for their shopping and return them at a later date.

We love Newtown, after all it does have the best coffee you get in Wellington. On the other hand, Wairarapa is becoming the latest hot spot with lower rents and house prices. Would you face the commute?
