Be careful with what you throw away!
Auckland Council is appealing to Aucklanders to dispose of flammable items carefully following the third kerbside recycling collection truck blaze in less than a month.
Yesterday, a fire broke out in a recycling truck in a Warkworth residential street. The fires mean that potentially up to 19 tonnes of valuable recyclable materials have had to be sent to landfill instead of being recycled.
Parul Sood, General Manager Waste Solutions says “It’s a shame to see tonnes of recyclable materials going up in smoke. It’s a backwards step for our environment."

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!
