If your kids or fur babies love our district's rivers or streams, stay safe this summer by keeping an eye out for toxic algae as the weather gets warmer. It can make people quite sick and can be fatal to dogs, even in tiny amounts.

Toxic algae can form brown or black mats that grow on rocks in the riverbed and wash up and dry on our riverbanks. Dogs love the smell and will eat it if given the chance, so never let them scavenge at the river's edge.

Before you toss out your used Christmas gift wrap, check out these tips:
– metallic or shiny wrapping paper can't be recycled as it contains foil, metallic pieces or plastic coating; paper wrap can be put in your recycling bin
– if you're unsure what type of wrapping you have, give it the ‘tear test’ – if it doesn’t tear like paper put it in your rubbish bin or save it for next year
– remove tape, ribbons and other decorations
– paper needs to be larger than the palm of your hand for processing at the recycling plant
– leave paper as flat sheets – don't scrunch it up into balls
– keep paper wrap loose in your recycling bin, not in bags.
