Was given a complaint number. 3.45pm phoned Tauranga Council and asked when it was going to be collected. Said it would be looked into. Friday morning 11am phoned Tauranga Council, was advised my original complaint had not been actioned and that a further complaint would be made to Envirowaste and someone from the waste management team would phone me.. 3.10 pm after not hearing from anyone, again phoned the Council and asked if someone could tell me when my bin was being emptied and why it was not in the first place. Was told that the second truck should have collected it. I advised the person we only have one truck collecting our rubbish and they appeared rather confused so is the Council paying the rubbish collection people for two trucks when only one is used? Was also put on hold and the person came back and said "sorry the poor people start work early in the morning and have gone home!" Given they are not involved in manual labour this was a bit over the top! Bin was still sitting in the carport until Saturday morning when it was brought back to outside our door. Last complaint was when the yellow bin was emptied on a red bin day and the streets were lined with red bins! At least they sorted that the next day. Not impressed with either the Council or Envirowaste, the latter if they cannot do what they are being paid for so let someone who does know and who is local take over!! Will now have to wait until next Thursday to see if the bin is collected! We pay the wages of all these people so.......!

I was lucky to get the opportunity to study with Awanuiārangi at Papatūānuku Kōkiri Marae. It was the best thing that could have happened, a game-changer. I had a great teacher. Learning at the marae was very special – it got me into Te Ao Māori quickly applying our learning straight away.
I don’t know where I would be without this te reo journey. It was an incredible experience that has changed my life.

Our member surveys indicate that the average life expectancy of a top loader is seven years, and 12 for a front loader. A little care and maintenance can go a long way, so here are some tips to help you get the most from your washer.
Watch out for keys and coins
Keys and coins kill washing machines. Check pockets before washing, and look for dirt and objects left in the drum, or hidden in the rubber seals after each wash.
Check your pump filter
Many washing machines have these as a last line of defence against foreign objects. Look for a small hatch low down on the outside of your machine. Check this monthly and clear anything that shouldn’t be in there — use a towel or tray to catch the water when you open it up. If your machine isn’t draining, this is the first thing to check before calling for a repair.
Limit your washer's spin speed
Keep this to 1200rpm, even if your machine goes up to 1400 or even 1600rpm. Higher speeds reduce the life of belts, drum bearings and door seals, without removing much more water.
Don’t use fabric softener with laundry detergent
Fabric softeners react to create a waxy residue called “scrud”. No one wants “scrud” – especially as it clings to unseen parts of the machine, such as under the agitator. If blobs break free, they can leave greasy marks on laundry.
Regularly clean the detergent dispenser
Check the manual to see how to remove it, and wash it thoroughly in warm soapy water.
Clean the door seal
Remove water from the door seal after each wash (if you notice mould, wipe the rubber seal with hot water and detergent). Between washes, leave the door and detergent dispenser open – that lets the interior dry.
Use the service cycle
Many machines have a specific “service” or “cleaning” cycle. It helps your machine smell fresh, prevents detergent build-up, and keeps it cleaning at its best.
If your machine doesn’t have a service cycle, run a hot wash with a full-strength powder detergent once a month.
