Our Terracycle Recycing Centre is back in business at Level 1

Sophie from Lyall Bay

Our Terracycle Recycing Centre is back in business at Level 1 with a few new safety precautions*.

*We are no longer able to accept dental products and yoghurt suckies that aren’t WASHED and DRIED with hot soapy water.

Due to the nature of a product you put in your mouth to use we can’t risk ourselves or the staff at the recycling centre.
PLEASE WASH AND DRY all these items before dropping them off.

The best way to do this is to pop toothbrushes in the top rack of your dishwasher and cut the toothpaste and yoghurt pouches at the base and let the tap run through them and then add to a sink of hot water and dish soap to remove any germs.

I am sad to say Fonterra are no longer funding recycling of their products. The Collective brand will still be recycling their own containers and suckies.

For more information about any of the recycling schemes please take a look at the posters I have attached or feel free to contact me with any questions at predatorfreelyallbay@gmail.com

Don't forget we now recycle plastic writing instruments (that's pens, markers and mechanical pencils) so maybe set up a collection at your workplace and help save the environment, your school/work and help Predator Free Lyall Bay.

Thank you!

Poll: Have you kept trinkets from your life?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Many of us are sentimental about our childhoods and lives, and some even collect things to remember moments or people.

Share what you've held on to over the years and whether you still have it today. Feel free to share photos too, we'd love to see.

Deirdre’s Cheese Puffs

Rita Angus Retirement Village

Deirdre loves cooking and enjoys teaching kids about food - something she does three times at week at the Busy Bees Kindergarten in Havelock North. We spoke to her while she whipped up a batch of cheese puffs in her townhouse at James Wattie Village.

Watch her journey of teaching, retirement and still working. Plus, we’ve included the recipe to her cheese puffs which were gobbled up by our camera crew because they’re delicious!
