Want to Recycle for Free?
Hi Neighbours,
Found this online if anyone is interested.
The Boss has gone completely crazy after investing $38,000 in a Polystyrene Compactor and decided to receive your Household polystyrene ('EPS-6') for FREE!!!
(The minimum you will be charged at an AKL landfill is $118)
1-Day only - This Saturday, the 11th of January at the Divert NZ HQ on Auckland's North Shore - Please read the Terms + Conditions on the flyer...
Our compactor squashes the living daylights out of polystyrene (which is 98% air) down to 1/40th of its size.
The compacted bricks can then be recycled into other plastics.
(which we are working hard to ensure happens in NZ)

We have changed the dates to coincide with the Auckland Heritage Festival and to take advantage of the school holidays.
We are upgrading the venue to the historic King's College, which offers superior facilities, more on-site parking and is just a 400-metre walk from the Middlemore train station.
We look forward to seeing you there. This event is open to everyone.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
83.3% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
16.7% No. This would be impossible in practice.
