More than 500 glass recycling bins were rejected across Tauranga in the first fortnight of Tauranga City Council's new kerbside pickup service.

That was about 1.6 per cent of the 31,685 blue crates collected, according to statistics provided by the council. In total, 142.12 tonnes of bottles and jars were collected in those first two weeks, eventually destined for O-I New Zealand in Auckland, where it will be melted down and made anew into more bottles and jars.

The council figures also revealed that just under 20,000 Tauranga households missed or skipped their first fortnightly collection, a service for which they have already been charged $26 in their rates for the next year. Some complained there should have been a grace period or warning first, but others felt the rules were clear enough and there for workers' safety. Read more here

Hi neighbours,

Chicken is a popular dish for many Kiwi families. But are you happy to pay the extra cost for free-range or organic chicken? If so, why do you fork out extra for it? Although buying free-range chicken might be an ethical choice for many, it's not necessarily any healthier than other chicken.

As part of a new Stuff series, we look at why chicken is so cheap to buy nowadays, what happens inside the barn, why chickens get so big and the use of antibiotics in chicken feed. To learn more about what happens to your chicken before you put it in your shopping trolley, click the links above.
