Bins before breakfast in Auckland

It's time to put out your rubbish bins early to make sure you don't miss a collection.

Route changes for rubbish truck drivers from November 30 will mean that some people have their bins picked up earlier than before.

Residents in central, east and south Auckland should place their bins at the kerb by 7am to ensure you don't miss out.

If your household already has an early start, that will not change.

New electric trucks are being rolled out for kerbside collections.

The first joined Waiheke Island earlier this year and the next truck is soon bound for Papakura.

When food scrap collections are introduced in 2023, all food scraps trucks will be electric.

Auckland Council said it has been "standardising rubbish collection services across the region, while also setting a goal of zero waste to landfill by 2040."

About 10,000 tonnes of recycling and 15,000 tonnes of rubbish are collected in the region every month.

Do you like the design of this new electric truck on Waiheke Island?

Pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca will start producing hundreds of millions of doses of its new coronavirus vaccine by Christmas after Oxford University researchers revealed a scientific breakthrough with the possibility to terminate the pandemic.

The vaccine was on average 70 per cent effective in foiling the disease, according to results from phase three trials.

It’s unknown yet whether New Zealand was in the line for this vaccine.

But New Zealand has already signed two agreements for other vaccines- the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine along with the vaccine from Janssen Pharmaceutica.

Qantas chief executive officer Alan Joyce on Monday night said vaccination would be mandatory for passengers.

“We are looking at changing our terms and conditions to say that for international travellers, we will ask people to have a vaccination before they can get on the aircraft,” he said.

Traditional skills of crochet and hand-crank machine sewing were back in action and in full force in the ballroom at Alberton on Sunday!

What a treat to have heritage sewing and textile experts Gracie Matthews (and her ten antique Singer babies - all with names and personalities of their own) guiding visitors though the sewing process and Megan Mills teaching crochet with 'granny squares'.

Two of each workshops were held in the morning and afternoon, with a spot of tea & scones enjoyed by everyone on the sunny verandah overlooking the garden. Scroll through the photos to get a glimpse of the day.

Due to popular demand and highly limited places, a second crafty day has been scheduled on Sunday 29 November! Crochet classes now booked out but there are still places for the sewing workshop at 10:30 and a 2nd at 1:30pm will be scheduled if there is enough interest.Tickets $60.

Free Dog Training Opportunity

Hi all,
I thought this might interest a dog owner out there, who has to leave their dog at home during the day.
I am looking to do the Unitec 1 year course for Canine Behavior and Training next year, with the aim of going into dog training in the future, which is a passion of mine. I don't currently own a dog, and need one to complete the course. It involves bringing a dog twice a week during the day, where I will be learning and applying training techniques. The campus is in Mt Albert.

Would anyone be interested in me taking their dog to my course twice a week next year. It would basically be free training and daytime entertainment for your dog, so should be mutually beneficial! The dog must be between 1.5 - 7 years old and ideally live near Mt Albert or Pt Chev (so I could collect and return on the 2 days). Dog must also be vaccinated, and spayed/neutered is ideal.

Please comment or flick me a message if interested.

Thanks very much,
Eliza.
