Tell us your thoughts: what has your experience of the recycling service like?

Eleanor Wenman Reporter from Upper Hutt Leader

Hi everyone, thank you for your thoughts - it's been an interesting discussion! Comments are now closed.

The future of Upper Hutt's ratepayer-funded recycling service in Upper Hutt is under scrutiny.
Setup and operational costs have been higher than expected while tonnage figures for the city overall indicate the number of people recycling has not increased, a city council report says.
What do you think? Have you used the service often? Is it worth the money put in? Comments may be used in print unless stated otherwise with NFP (Not For Print).

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
