Hi neighbours,

Some Papakura residents are so frustrated about their bin tags being swiped off their rubbish bins, they're coming up with some pretty creative ways to deter thieves. The pay-as-you-throw tags were introduced by Auckland Council in Papakura and west Auckland earlier this year and range from between $2.60- $5.50 a bin. To read more, click here.

Although the bin tags aren't city-wide, it got us wondering what other rubbish-bin issues were out there? Has your bin been stolen before? Do people fill your bins with their rubbish and recycling? Have you had lids or wheels broken off them? What extreme measures have you taken to make sure your rubbish gets collected? Let us know in the replies.

Today, I moved into a new house, sharing with the main tenants. The house is really nice & that includes the main tenants. The house is also in a nice neighborhood.
I really wanna say Thank You from the bottom of my heart for all the support from the caring people, that I’ve received after the house-fire in 20 Somerville Road, in which I was a tenant/flatmate.
A huge Thank You to Garry Thompson & his family, for putting me up in their lovely home, for a couple of days, helped me out with clothing, towels & bags, and also washed & dried my fire-smelling clothes.
Thanks so much to my handful of friends who were trying to find me permanent accommodation, and a huge Thank You to one particular person, who sourced & found me my permanent accommodation. You’re a very special Angel that was sent, and you know who you are. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
A special Thank You to the Salvation Army in Howick, who was a tremendous help, and a huge Thank You to Steve from the Salvation Army Shop in Howick, who moved mountains to be able to store my bed, until I moved into permanent accommodation.
Also, many thanks to WINZ Highland Park, who helped me out with temporary accommodation.
If there’s anyone who I forgot to mention, many many Thanks to you too.
Cheers & Goodnight to everyone!
