Concrete Waste

Sam from Clouston Park - Kingsley Heights

Kia ora Neighbours!

Bit of a random one, but I had a few large chunks of concrete to get rid of (stashed behind the shed of previous tenant or owner) and I'm wanting to do it sustainably if possible. It was presumably a path/walkway as its about 2 inches deep and square metre give or take. When we put in new drainage there will likely be some more tucked away and wanting removed

The worst case scenario is the tip - bad for planet and wallet

Is there somewhere out there I can recycle or repurpose it? I'm thinking Expol polystyrene-type collection or even someone with a jack hammer that wants to shrink it down to smaller chunks and use for infill or building up a stopbank?

Open to ideas and happy to drop off if within reasonable distance from Upper Hutt

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
