Rubbish day

Eleesha from One Tree Hill

Does anyone know why they changed the bin days in Ellerslie from Tuesday to Thursday?
I have recently noticed that now my bin along with many others on my street are over flowing with rubbish by the time Wednesday morning comes. My guess is a lot of people & children are off work & school etc during the weekends and so are home and able to accumulate more rubbish which was normally to be emptied on the Tuesday morning.
It only seems like 2 days difference but I just want to understand why it changed.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
