blue stickered black rubbish bag left at our letterbox

Diane from Frankton

A few weeks ago I noticed a blue stickered black rubbish bag left at our letterbox for the rubbish collection. After 3 weeks and not been collected by the council rubbish truck, I realised it had been blue stickered due to the weight of the bag, even though it was only half full. So this week I … View moreA few weeks ago I noticed a blue stickered black rubbish bag left at our letterbox for the rubbish collection. After 3 weeks and not been collected by the council rubbish truck, I realised it had been blue stickered due to the weight of the bag, even though it was only half full. So this week I opened the bag to find piles of undelivered circulars/pamplets for supermarkets, warehouse etc. I should have rung the manager for the area to advise them that probably one of their lazy delivery persons just couldnt be bothered delivering them.
I divided the contents into 4 bags so the Council rubbish collector would pick the bag up. (Which they did)
Next time I will be informing an area manger, so please keep an eye out for this if happens at your letterbox.

Waikato Show 2018 update

Waikato Show

Another marvellous day out, the sun still has heat in it, but the shade is a bit chilly. Not as heavy a dewfall this morning, so no nicely silvered lawn as the sun rises higher.

Looking forward to seeing all the vegetable competition entire for 2018: - lets try to make them STUNNING!
