Bins before breakfast in Auckland

It's time to put out your rubbish bins early to make sure you don't miss a collection.

Route changes for rubbish truck drivers from November 30 will mean that some people have their bins picked up earlier than before.

Residents in central, east and south Auckland should place their bins at the kerb by 7am to ensure you don't miss out.

If your household already has an early start, that will not change.

New electric trucks are being rolled out for kerbside collections.

The first joined Waiheke Island earlier this year and the next truck is soon bound for Papakura.

When food scrap collections are introduced in 2023, all food scraps trucks will be electric.

Auckland Council said it has been "standardising rubbish collection services across the region, while also setting a goal of zero waste to landfill by 2040."

About 10,000 tonnes of recycling and 15,000 tonnes of rubbish are collected in the region every month.

Do you like the design of this new electric truck on Waiheke Island?

Inter-Me: A workshop for new year 9 students!

Ellie from Howick

Hi everyone!

As some of you may be aware from previous posts, I'm a certified life coach and youth mentor, based in Howick (www.the-bigsisterproject.com) - and I have got something pretty special coming up in 2021 for our 'tweenagers'! :)

For a while now, I've been hearing … View more
Hi everyone!

As some of you may be aware from previous posts, I'm a certified life coach and youth mentor, based in Howick (www.the-bigsisterproject.com) - and I have got something pretty special coming up in 2021 for our 'tweenagers'! :)

For a while now, I've been hearing more and more stories about some of the anxiety that kids are feeling around starting college, and how it's been added to with the impacts of Covid-19. Even children who feel pretty excited about college and have friends going to the same school still have that underlying nervousness about all the changes they'll face. Too many kids are also experiencing bullying, depression, anger, and fear as they try to fit in and be liked. It's tough stuff, and not something they should ever need to go through.

Are your kids in any of these boats? Do you, as a parent, feel ready to take on whatever comes home with your child as they navigate this new territory?

'Inter-me' is going to be a unique, memorable, empowering, and exciting workshop for children who are entering college in 2021. It doesn't matter if they're introverted, extroverted, full of beans, or feeling a little low - there will be something for everyone and it'll be a safe space to develop a sense of confidence and love for themselves!

I remember when I started year 9 and not knowing a single person - it was pretty scary and I would have loved someone to share some stories and give me some tips!

So if you are the parent of or know the parent of a soon-to-be-year-9, have a look and let me know if you'd like to book a space. $85 for the day, lunch, and take-home materials included!!!
*if your child is year 9 going into year 10 but still hasn't found their feet, they are also welcome to come along!
This is running in association with UXBRIDGE Arts & Culture Centre in Howick!
