Please be responsible of your rubbish
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: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
