Brand new recycling nets $20 each

Hi, I am a Maungaraki local raising money for Mothers Helpers. This charity helps mums who are experiencing post-natal depression or anxiety. I have committed to raising $10,000 (you can see more here: givealittle.co.nz... or www.mothershelpers.co.nz......).

I am also personally committed to supporting a reduction in our landfill waste. One way to do this is to promote recycling.

I am offering to deliver recycling bins and/or nets to your house in Maungaraki and surrounding areas. I am also happy to attach nets to bins and give you a demonstration of how to use the net.

For every bin or net that you purchase, $5 will go towards the Mothers Helpers charity.

55 litre recycling bin: $20 delivered
Flexinet: $20 delivered

To order bins and/or nets, please email me direct at hanacraig@gmail.com.

Some more information:

The flexinet is designed to prevent the contents of recycling bins blowing away in the wind. These nets help keep streets tidy and reduce debris from blocking drains and causing flooding.

It is also good to have two or more bins. In a survey of Korokoro residents who had two recycling bins:

- 88 per cent of respondents used the second recycling bins

- 78 per cent found two bins made recycling easier, mostly due to the increased capacity but also the ability to sort the recycling

- 27 per cent found the second bin caused them to recycle more in terms of volume than just having one bin

- 57 per cent found that the second bin reduced windblown litter

Thanks for your support!

Price: $20
