A Countdown supermarket is asking customers to return shopping baskets that have walked out the door since it ditched plastic bags.
Countdown Orewa removed single-use plastic bags last month and, since then, has gone from about 200 shopping baskets to around six. "There's no more than 10 left. It's crazy," Countdown Orewa customer service manager Marlene Williams said.
They said the supermarket would continue to supply baskets, but requested customers return their baskets for other shoppers to use. The supermarket now sells reusable bags ranging in price from 15 cents to a dollar. Damaged Countdown brand reusable bags can be replaced with a new one at no cost.

It's a free fun afternoon from 2pm (plate for afternoon tea appreciated) - and I'll be explaining my KIWI SUPERKIDS' PROJECT too which you might like to be part of. It's to gift free copies (that I provide) to as many pre-school centres as possible so the all-important message of self-esteem, confidence and an "I CAN DO IT" attitude that will last their whole lives through, is developed in as many youngsters as possible. :-) Please text for details: 021 259 4491 Sylvia Vowless QSM. I'll also have copies of my double-Award winning adult version book 'THE MIRACLE EFFECT' available too - both are fantastic Christmas gifts!!!

Some Papakura residents are so frustrated about their bin tags being swiped off their rubbish bins, they're coming up with some pretty creative ways to deter thieves. The pay-as-you-throw tags were introduced by Auckland Council in Papakura and west Auckland earlier this year and range from between $2.60- $5.50 a bin. To read more, click here.
Although the bin tags aren't city-wide, it got us wondering what other rubbish-bin issues were out there? Has your bin been stolen before? Do people fill your bins with their rubbish and recycling? Have you had lids or wheels broken off them? What extreme measures have you taken to make sure your rubbish gets collected? Let us know in the replies.
