Pickup you and your kids rubbish, and poops, please
Hi Everyone I thought I'd just like to remind those who's out and about enjoying the sunshine at parks, reserves, beaches... Pickup your rubbish and food scraps! I see kinder bueno box, food wraps, chip bags, mountain dew cans 😷.. this is not representative of our lovely neighbourhood... but surely a sight for sore eyes. Worse thing is seeing chicken bones and dogs suffering from other people's dirty scraps. Let's be tidy Kiwis :) Bring reusable bags and containers , your own rubbish bags if you have to... thank you 🙏
