Please be responsible of your rubbish

Zhiwei from Strathmore Park

Neighbors, please stop dumping your general wastes into other people's garden waste bins.
Our garden waste bin is collected on a schedule and only allowed garden wastes for this paid service. If any non-garden wastes spotted when being collected, the staff will pick them out and leave them kerb side.
Today I saw some random rubbish left by out garden waste bin so I suppose this was caused by what s been stated above, because I would not believe that people are bad enough to leave their rubbish straight outside my property.
This is not the only time I found the rubbish left out of my place.
Please, be mindful of your rubbish and your neighbors, it's not fair to let me sort out your own rubbish.
And please, if you see the photo attached here and can recognize if the rubbish bags are yours, come over and take it away. Much appreciated.

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
