We are going to lose the new recycling depot! Where is the common sense? I could not believe my eyes. Food, shoes, an aquarium, polystyrene to name a few things. FIRE HAZARD!!!
Yes, I expected people to have a build up of recycling but it was not intended as a RUBBISH TIP! Being one of the battlers to get this facility I now wonder why I did it.
May common sense prevail! My understanding now is contractors have been called in to clean it up at a great cost to ratepayers.
To end on a better note before I lose the plot: THANK YOU to those who saw the dilemma and continued to the Lower Hutt depots to discard their RECYCLE.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This one is pretty simple. You're a Neighbourly member so connecting with your community is obviously pretty important to you. So this tip is more of a challenge; this year (or this weekend!) make it your mission to meet someone new living near you.

This one is pretty simple. You're a Neighbourly member so connecting with your community is obviously pretty important to you. So this tip is more of a challenge; this year (or this weekend!) make it your mission to meet someone new living near you.

Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!
______
Remember 86% of Kiwis want to get to know their neighbours better, but just don't see them around much (71%). Take the first step!
