Is that a teahouse on Stewart Island?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Why yes it is, and it's also a man cave, a shed, and a builder/engineer's retirement project. Little wonder Allan Jones' quirky build is a runner-up in the 2021 Resene Shed of the Year competition run by NZ Gardener.

Aucklanders are being called to have their say about the new layout of the Arthur Grey low traffic area in Onehunga.

The people-friendly area will be trialled for the next two weeks.

It is designed to allow access to cars but stop them from using the location as a short-cut.

Trials have been taking place around Arthur St and Grey St in Onehunga, and Eastview Rd in Glen Innes as part of the national Innovating Streets for People pilot fund.

Local Board chair Chris Makoare said it was critical to get enough feedback to make the best decisions for communities.

He has urged members of the public to be patient and to complete the online survey on the stage 1 layout.

The board wants to know what residents think about the area being trialled, about road safety, traffic speeds and volumes.

Residents invited to recycle their computers: Ellerslie, Auckland

Hi neighbours,

Do you have old computers you want to toss?

You can bring them along to a series of e-waste drop-off days around Auckland.

The goal is to stop e-waste ending up in landfills.

The largest event will be held at the Ellerslie Events Centre on April 17, backed by the Ellerslie Residents Association and Orakei Local Board.

People can drop off their items for free.

Computer Recycling managing director Patrick Moynahan said he was aiming to collect 20,000 kilos of waste from more than 2000 households.

“There is no New Zealand-based framework or legislation as to how Kiwis dispose of their unwanted e-waste, 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.”

Funds raised from the event will be given to Variety- The Children's Charity.

All charity donations made by the public during the day will be matched by Computer Recycling.

More than 40,000 kilos of electronic waste has been collected during five E-days held this year.

The waste is sorted and split into reuse or recycling categories at the company's Onehunga site.

Date will be deleted from reusable items and any markings will be removed.

The computers will then be refurbished and sold to the community.

Items destined for recycling will be graded as general scrap metal or e-scrap.

E-scrap is exported under Environmental Protection Agency permits to Asia and Europe where they will be converted to base elements to be used again.

The average New Zealander produces more than 20 kilograms of e-waste each year, one of the highest per capita amounts globally.

Of the 80,000 tonnes of e-waste created annually, it is estimated less than 2 per cent is recycled.

Are you planning to bring your old PCs to the e-waste day?

What do you do to support recycling at home?
