Our wonderful volunteers are back SAT 29th APRIL with their skills to help you repair your favourite broken things, keeping them out of landfill.

This is free event made possible with the help of some amazing local folks who offer their knowledge and skills. Sit alongside enjoying a cuppa while you learn about the art of repair

Saturday 29th April, 10am to 1pm. At Waiuku Zero Waste, 5 Hosking Place.

We can help repair:
* Bikes!!! We will have the emerging Waiuku Pedlars folks meeting here. Bring your bike for a quick service and come for a chat.
* Small electrical items - toasters, fans, lamps,
* Clothes mending - patch repairs, hemming, and other textile sewing
* Wooden furniture & toys- our workshop will be open for small item repairs such as a broken chair leg, kids toys that need a bit of tlc
* Quartz Clock repairs

I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
