Concrete Waste
Kia ora Neighbours!
Bit of a random one, but I had a few large chunks of concrete to get rid of (stashed behind the shed of previous tenant or owner) and I'm wanting to do it sustainably if possible. It was presumably a path/walkway as its about 2 inches deep and square metre give or take. When we put in new drainage there will likely be some more tucked away and wanting removed
The worst case scenario is the tip - bad for planet and wallet
Is there somewhere out there I can recycle or repurpose it? I'm thinking Expol polystyrene-type collection or even someone with a jack hammer that wants to shrink it down to smaller chunks and use for infill or building up a stopbank?
Open to ideas and happy to drop off if within reasonable distance from Upper Hutt
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
