Let’s Recycle Right, Auckland
There are three simple things we can do to help improve the quality of recycling that’s being collected.
1. Completely empty out containers, especially ones with liquid or drink.
2. Rinse out all containers. The cleaner the better is the rule of thumb.
3. Sort your waste carefully to make sure only the right recyclable containers from the kitchen, bathroom and laundry go in the recycling bin

Are you Looking For a Xmas Side Hustle?
So, you've got a job, maybe a full plate, but you’re staring at your bank account thinking, "Hmm, I could use a little extra cash. Or a lot. But I don't want to spend every free minute working my life away."
Sound familiar? You're definitely not alone.
Here’s the thing: Everyone loves the idea of a side hustle. We’ve all seen those articles about people making a full-time income from their side gig or living the dream on their own terms. But before you dive in headfirst and start googling “how to make money from home,” let’s get one thing straight: a side hustle isn’t just about “making more money” – it’s about finding a way to make your time work for you.

Baby bird raising
Hi neighbours
That time of the year where fledglings fall from their nests.. I know there’s lots of birds out there but it still breaks my heart. Does anyone know of a local ‘bird’ rescuer who can help them whilst they find their feet. I have one in my garden at present. Happy to donate pronurtar and can drop off. Does anyone know of somebody? Would appreciate your help. Cheers
