Recycle Update:

The latest update I have from UHCC:

"Thanks for your comments and support. Yes the response of some people has been disappointing with general rubbish eg fruit, paint etc amongst the recycled goods and continuing to offload whilst the facility is closed. The costs to provide recycling are very high without people abusing the service. We have to close it on alternate days so that the container can be taken down to the recycle centre at Seaview for unloading. A camera has gone in today and we will have staff on site during the week. "

Hope that answers our queries.
Thanks UHCC.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
