Inorganic collection is coming up and I bet there are some of you thinking if throwing out some timber or other surplus building materials? Don't thrown them away! I may be able to make use of them. I'm building my kids a playhouse out of 100% recycled materials. (You may have seen a story about it in today's Rodney Times).
I'm looking for:
* Framing timber (approx 10cm x 4xm size or thereabouts - standard stud wall stuff)
* Roofing (steel or polycarbonate)
* Plywood
* A small timber framed window that opens
* Large ex playground slide
* Pavers, bricks, or large rocks for landscaping
If you were thinking of throwing any of these things out in inorganic collection starting this weekend, please contact me first and I will come have a look.
Big thanks to those of you who responded to my previous post about this a few weeks ago. I've collected most of what I need from friendly neighbours but there are still a few bits and pieces to go.

1. Set up a Halloween Group for your street! Plan your Halloween evening with your neighbours to see what time everyone is taking the kids out. You could even co-ordinate matching costumes!
2. Download one of our SPOOKY Neighbourly Halloween posters to stick on your house or letterbox for if:
- You welcome all trick or treaters
- You want trick or treaters to stay away
3. Stay in areas of your neighbourhood that are familiar and are well lit. And although Halloween is supposed to be spooky, be careful not to frighten your elderly neighbours by popping out of the dark!
Stay safe and have fun!
