Rubbish Bins in Heta Rd
Anyone else noticed rubbish in their yellow top bins today not belonging to them. Just went to put some more rubbish in my bin before it is collected, only to discover some stuff in there not belonging to us. Was not in there this morning and my bin could close. Now it can't close properly. Strange thing is 'this person' threw an invoice in there with a name & address...why would someone drive 7.5km from Marfell just to dump their rubbish in our bin. Seriously.....I feel like driving down there and dumping the rubbish on their front door. After all, I have a name & address. Obviously this person does not even know how to recycle either, dirty tins, kfc dirty packets, human hair...gross man. More red bin rubbish as well. And then next minute I get a warning letter from NPDC for unrecyclable stuff in my bins...So much for being neighbourly on this New Years day.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
