Plastic bin wanted

Grant Neighbourly Lead from Johnsonville

Just wondering if anyone has any large plastic bin or container to spare?
Circular or rectangular is fine. Does not need to be in great condition as it would mainly be used for holding and transporting grass clippings.
Thanks.

Hey Aotearoa,

Summer's here, and that means the streets are buzzing. Summer means more eyes on the streets, and more eyes on Street Media.

You've probably seen our bold frames around Aotearoa – 40 years deep in bringing life to the concrete jungle. We've rolled with the big names in NZ, but our roots are solid.

Arts, culture, and community run through our veins. In 2022, we nailed being the first Carbon Net Zero Out of Home advertiser, we're proud of that.

NZ brands, if you want your message out there, or if you own a spot itching for our frames (and some extra cash), we're game. Let's team up this summer.
