Can Crushers

Douglas from Glendowie

From the Mens Shed East Auckland this week - something new!

We have been gifted 10 of these can and plastic bottle crushers to sell to help fund our community work. They come with mounting screws. Crush your cans and bottles and you will only have to put out the recycle bin once a month, which is good for the environment. Particulary useful in schools - kids love to use them and it compacts the waste stream.

These sell for $20 to $30 on Trademe delivered and one of these can be yours for only $10.

If you plan to come and get one let me know so I can keep a tally.
The Mens Shed is a registered charity and income from sales is used to fund our community work.

Pick up in Abbotts way, Waiatarua Reserve car park, Mon to Sat 9:00 till 12:00 and till 3:00 on Tuesdays.

Price: $10

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

Auckland, why are we so excited about a new store? 🚗🛒

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

I think we’ve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!

So here’s the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Keen for an update? The Post has you covered

Can anyone please help with transporting supplies to the Tokoroa dog shelter?

Anne from St Heliers

Hello Neighbours
I’ve collating donations for the SWDC dog shelter (near-expiry food; towels, blankets, plastic beds, toys, etc). There’s enough already to fill a 4-wheel drive or big ute but, at least, a BIG boot full. It would be great to get this to the shelter (esp. the short-dated food) ASAP

If you have spare / unused stretcher beds, plastic dog baskets, bedding, food, metal food bowls, leads, collars, toys, etc which you'd like to donate, please contact me, many thanks
