Poll: Will you use this recycling service?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Margarine tub lids, sauce bottle caps, jam jar tops, beer caps and countless other vessel-closers can finally get closure with a recycling option now available.

Three supermarkets in the region - New World Te Rapa, PAK’nSAVE Mill Street, and PAK’nSAVE Te Awamutu - have joined a growing nationwide recycling programme, giving a way to divert these items from the tip.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
