The Environment and Waste Minimisation Fund.

Upper Hutt City Council

Cloth nappies, voucher-based reusable sanitary products, compost bins, wilderness paths, veggie gardens and worm farms - these are just some of the projects we’ve funded in the past through our Environment and Waste Minimisation Fund.

If you’re looking to get a new sustainability initiative off the ground but need more money to do it, why not apply?

Sustainability is a key priority for our council, and we love supporting initiatives like these.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.
