The Team from Whangarei District Council

We're celebrating Recycling Week by launching our new online A-Z Disposal and Recycling Guide. ♻🗑🥳 Bookmark this:

The new page includes 70 categories of household items and how to recycle or dispose of them - everything from hard-hats to childrens' car seats, from bras to mobile phones, business clothing, bicycles, bubble wrap and tin cans. You might be surprised what can be re-used or recycled!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
