Book your household inorganic collection service

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Hi neighbours,

Have you booked your household inorganic collection service?

Inorganic bookings for your neighbourhood close eight days before the relevant collection week.

Pre-booking ensures the collector has permission to collect items from inside your property boundary and also means you can let the council know if there are any access issues on the property.

Collection piles can be up to a maximum of 1 cubic metre in size.

The service is for items that don’t belong in your kerbside collection, so don’t put your cardboard or excess rubbish or recycling in your inorganic pile.

Concrete, porcelain, ceramics, and polystyrene are also banned from the inorganic collection.

You can book your collection by going to:

www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz..., phoning 09 301 0101 or dropping into any service centre.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
