What do you think of this plan?
A new $16 million construction and demolition waste recovery facility is now up and running near Huntly, offering large-scale processing capacity aimed at diverting tens of thousands of tonnes of construction waste from landfill each year.
Developed by Kiwi-owned waste services company Green Gorilla, the Rotowaro facility is powered entirely by certified renewable electricity and has been co-funded with a $4 million grant from the Ministry for the Environment’s Waste Minimisation Fund, a statement from the company said.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
