Is this a frequent or rare occurrence in your neighbourhood?
Last year Auckland Council fielded 1996 requests for service related to missing bin tags.
This comprised 538 from the North Shore, 331 from Papakura and 1126 from West Auckland.
The council collected nearly 3.5 million bins using tags last year.
The council saw 23 requests for service related to missing tags last week out of around 60,000 bins collected each week in the user pays area.
A council spokeswoman said the average number of requests had not changed since pre-lockdown and marked a 7% reduction from 2019.
Parul Sood, Auckland Council general manager for waste solutions, said missing bin tags are rare but it does happen.
The council recommends residents put their address and date on the tag and delay tagging their bin until close to collection time, he said.
They should report missing tags to Auckland Council on 09 301 0101 so the incident could be tracked and investigated.

The upgrades aim to calm traffic and protect people crossing the road in West Coast Rd and Glendale Rd.
Improvements are also planned for Captain Scott Rd between the West Coast Rd and Oates Rd intersection.
“Glen Eden was chosen for this Vision Zero flagship project because West Coast Road is a high-risk arterial road that needs transformational change to make the town centre safe,” said Greg Presland, Waitakere Ranges local board chairman.
“This is a really neat little town centre and, with the development we see happening around us, we want it to be as safe as possible for the people choosing to call it home.”
Transport agency Waka Kotahi NZ is funding 75 per cent of the project cost.
Go to at.govt.nz... for more information on the upgrade.
Which other roads in west Auckland do you think would benefit from safety improvements?

You can turf them at e-waste drop off points around Auckland.
More than 30 e-waste drop off days will be run around the city by Auckland based Computer Recycling.
Dubbed the "CR E-days", these will give members of the community a chance to avoid dumping their e-waste in landfills.
Community centres across the city have volunteered their spaces for the events.
Donations will be collected at the events to raise funds for the children's charity Variety.
All donations made during the CR E-days will be matched by Computer Recycling.
The company last year collected more than 18000 kg of discarded electronic waste which would have ended up in landfills.
More than 400 households dropped off their unwanted electronics during the three CR E-Days.
Computer Recycling director Patrick Moynahan said he hoped to collect and divert from landfill more than 300,000 kilograms of e-waste this year.
“There is no New Zealand-based framework or legislation as to how Kiwis dispose of their unwanted e-waste," he said, " but so far it has been really encouraging to see how much people are looking to do the right thing when it comes to disposing of their old tech.”
All e-waste collected from the events is brought back to the company's site in Onehunga where it is sorted for re-use or recycling.
The first four events of 2021 will be held on:
January 30 at First Presbyterian Church Papakura, February 6 at Green Bay High school, February 27 at Mt Albert Baptist Church, March 6 at Massey University East Precinct Albert Expressway in Albany.

We welcome all visitors to our next meeting, Ph Brian (09)838 5857
Hi neighbours,

Have you noticed that your windows are stiff, or the handle is a bit loose?
Depending on age, quality and probably a little bit determined by luck, different parts of a window can’t work anymore:
• Locking pins no longer lock exactly
• Window handle is difficult or difficult to turn
• Window sash does not fit properly in the frame (must be lifted or pushed in)
• Window handle wobbles
If you have windows that are stiff to open or close or leave big draught gaps give us a call on 0800 25 25 00 for a free estimate.
Hinges can easily be replaced without worrying about the cost of replacing the whole window.

All in good condition, all you need is your tape. All flat packed and packed nicely to go in your car.
A small offered donation would be nice as they cost over $300.
