Three recycling truck fires in three weeks in Auckland

Brittany Keogh Reporter from Eastern Courier

Hi neighbours, Auckland Council has issued a warning to residents about disposing hazardous waste proper after three recycling trucks in Ōtara, Lynfield and Sunnynook. Gas cooker canisters or lighter fluid cans may have been responsible for one of the fires. Another led to 6 tonnes of recyclable material going to landfill. The story below has some tips for people who aren't sure how to dispose of products including paint, gas cylinders and batteries.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
