Hi neighbours,

A lot of what we're putting in our recycling bins cannot be recycled.

Paul Evans, chief executive of waste management industry body WasteMinz, says in 2018 about 10 per cent of each Auckland household's recycling bin was "contamination" – items that people had put in hoping for the best, but which could not be recycled.

If you're in doubt whether something belongs in the recycling bin, the best practice is to simply leave it out.

We asked the energy experts to breakdown the running costs of all our favourite winter warmers, so you can work out how to get the best heating bang for your buck.

And while it's no shock that firing up a 2Kw electric heater doesn't come cheap, the price of a warm bed for a toasty night's sleep might surprise you. Check out the full rundown, including electric blankets, hot showers, heated towel rails and more, here.

Hi neighbours,
A South Waikato District councillor has called for a ban on tourists driving for 48 hours after they arrive in the country in order to reduce crashes.
Putaruru Councillor Herman van Rooijen said it didn't make sense for "people to come into New Zealand, that are used to driving on the other side of the road, to then hop into a car after a long flight".

Hi neighbours,
New electronic speed reduction signs at a notoriously dangerous intersection near Hobbiton haven't stopped calls for a more permanent solution.
The electronic 60kmh speed signs were installed last week and sit on both sides of SH29 just before the Hopkins Rd turn off.
But Chooky's Auto owner Darrell Conder, whose business sits on the intersection, says the signs have done little to slow drivers.

Hi neighbours,

If anyone is looking to buy bunks for your kids' bedrooms or the bach/holiday home please drop me a line. I have two sets for sale. They are currently in Taupo (sorry not really available for viewing unless you were down there!) but I will bring them up to Hamilton at no cost for a definite buyer.

One set I am selling with no mattresses (easily purchased from Para Rubber, or look on TradeMe - just a few dollars for foam mattresses!).

The second set of bunks comes with two good quality pocket-spring mattresses. The mattresses are just a few years old and in very good condition. I'm not sure how old the bunks frames are.

I've replaced the (horrible) springy bases with proper slats so they are much better for backs. The slats have black strapping so the slats don't bunch up. The frames are metal so they're going to last. A few chips off the paint here and there. Comes with ladder for the top bunk and a safety rail.

$125 for the bunks with no mattresses
$225 for the bunks with the mattresses.

Free delivery in Hamilton, you'll just need to re-assemble them.

Thanks - and let me know if you have any questions.
Greg

Price: $125
