There is an incredible community project called the Taita Toy Library that needs some volunteers to take it on and take it to the next stage and get the toy library up and running for the community.

It is located at the Walter Nash Stadium in Taita but is not open to the public as yet as we ran out of volunteer help.

Only rain down the drain

The Team from Wellington Water

We’ve had a lot of rain recently, and all of this rain has washed what was on peoples lawns, berms, driveways, streets and in the gutters, into our stormwater network.

The water entering our stormwater network does not get treated, this means EVERYTHING flows directly into our streams, rivers, and eventually our ocean.

Put any ‘waste’, such as cigarette butts, dog poo, or rubbish, into a rubbish bin.

Let’s all look after our waterways, and remember only rain down the drain.

Hey Neighbours!

Can someone enlighten me on the deal with all the big orange Waste Management Skip Bins around the place???

Two have appeared on my street last week and I notice they the seem to be everywhere! Is it a council initiative? Are they for anyone to use? Or are they only for the occupants of the property they are placed in front of?

If they are for anyone to use, what a great idea! this should happen a couple of times a year and would help SO many people with their junk/rubbish
