Staff shortages impact Kerbside Collections
Food scraps are to be temporarily removed from kerbside collections due to COVID-19 staff shortages.
The food scraps bin will not be collected from Thursday 3 March until further notice, as many of the region’s kerbside collection drivers have either contracted the virus or are household contacts and are following Ministry of Health advice to self-isolate.
The reduced service will allow available drivers to focus on collecting the red-lid general rubbish bins, yellow-lid recycling bins, blue crates for glass and green lid garden waste bins (for those who have them). We apologise for the inconvenience of the reduced service, but by prioritising collections will ensure the health and safety of our community, drivers, and staff in these trying times.
During this time, you can freeze your food scraps if you have room or place them in your red lid rubbish bin.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and we are working hard to bring this service back online as soon as possible so we can continue the great job we are doing with our waste minimisation effort.
Bin Change
The reduction in available driver will also affect the Bin Change campaign the Council is running. Our priority is currently to pick up as many collections as possible, therefore residents needing new or replacement bins will see some delay. We will communicate with you further in the coming weeks.
How can our communities manage a drop in school funding without losing the "soul" of our local schools in the Bay of Plenty?
New Zealand is seeing some big demographic shifts, and the reality is that shrinking school rolls are on the horizon 📉🏫
Since school funding and teacher numbers are tied to how many students are in the classrooms, our local schools might be facing some "belt-tightening" in the coming years.
Our question to you: How can our communities manage a drop in school funding without losing the "soul" of our local schools in the Bay of Plenty?
🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?
