Don’t forget that as of this coming Monday 20 July, we will only be accepting plastics numbered 1, 2 and 5 in kerbside recycling, Public Place Recycling bins, and at the Recycle Centre.
Plastic products are marked with a number from 1 to 7 showing what type of plastic it is. This number is usually found inside a triangle on the bottom of the packaging. If you can’t find a number, then it needs to go in your rubbish.

We'd be keen to hear from those of you who had to cancel an overseas trip due to Covid-19 and holidayed in New Zealand instead. How did you find your NZ trip? Was it better or worse than you expected? Did you enjoy it as much as you think you would have enjoyed your overseas holiday? And did it change your views about holidaying domestically?

"We have a lovely young couple across the road from us at number 13, Glenaven Drive, called Kirsty and Jeremy. We have recently moved to Motueka and they have been very helpful and friendly right from the start. During Lockdown they did shopping for us and let us have soil from their excavations for our garden improvements. Later on, they have given us lemons, gave spare concrete when they had some delivered for themselves and watered our plants when we were able to go away and visit our new grandchild. They are gems and have made us really happy that we've chosen Motueka as our home."
Hi there - I no longer need this couch, it’s made of very good quality cotton and cushions etc are all filled with feather.
You will need to collect this week, it is heavy and the cat has scratched a little but the threads can be trimmed.
It comes with an ottoman too.
Please text me … View moreHi there - I no longer need this couch, it’s made of very good quality cotton and cushions etc are all filled with feather.

From turning the roof of an old church into a lush backyard gazebo to making 50-year-old furniture look brand new with some white paint to turning actual rubbish into a toddler’s toy set, lots of Kiwis are upcycling.

Get prepared and buy your water tank from the Tip Shop at the Southern Landfill – and remember to refresh the water twice a year.
