Rubbish collection changes
Auckland Council has signed new contracts for waste collections across mainland Auckland for the next 10 years.
Rubbish collectors will be using new and improved routing, so residents may notice the rubbish truck arriving at a different time of the day.
Please ensure you place your bin out by 7am on your collection day to avoid missing your pick-up.
This is a huge step forward in the council’s move to make our domestic waste collection services consistent across the region and reduce waste

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Does anybody know a place in Auckland which takes possum fur?
Hi, my neighbours
One of my friends just caught a big possum from his garden.
He wants to ask if anybody knows a place to collect possums.
Or what he should do with it.
Kind regards
Betty
