Clutha e-waste freebie finishes 4.30pm Thursday
It was supposed to have lasted a couple of weeks, but the Clutha District Council's e-waste freebie, where households could drop-off a TV and computer at the Mt Cooee landfill free of charge will have ended by 4.30pm Thursday.
Uptake was so high that the initiative barely lasted four days. The council's waste minimisation team set aside $2,000 to fund the project, which disappeared pretty fast in the rush. This was officer Laura Gourley:
" We've had such a great response from people wanting to recycle their TVs and computers that the fund set aside to cover the cost of this scheme is finished! A huge thanks to everyone who took part. Council will be reviewing final numbers of items and what future initiatives we might run. Remember you can still recycle your e-waste at Mt Cooee, but normal fees will apply - they can be found here: www.cluthadc.govt.nz......

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.

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?
