ENVIROWASTE CHARGED COMMERCIAL RATES FOR RESIDENCE FOR PAST 15 YEARS !
Hey there neighbours. It was only when I went to cancel Envirowaste this week who collect my yellow bin (because of the sky rocketing price for weekly collection) that Envirowaste tell me I have been paying commercial rates for a residential bin for over 15 - 20 years. They tell me the they don't owe me any money as all residential properties were charged commercial rates back in the day? Any lawyers out there ? Do I have a case under the Fair Trade Act, the Consumer's Guarantee Act or for the Small Claims Court ? They are only now offering to give me a discount on a residential bin after they have jacked the prices to astronomical levels over the years. I would be interested to know what others thought ?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Plastic beach rubbish
Two recent emus on Takapuna beach. One lithium battery picked up from the edge of the deck of the Harbour Bridge during the recent Hikoi. My guess is the other half is sitting at the bottom of the Waitemata Harbour.
