Hi I currently have a Rimu corner Hutch Dresser to sell.

It is 2metres tall and will fit into a corner with a 60cm clearance either side.
There are 2 opening glass doors 50cm high at the top, below them is an opening 45cm high followed by a drawer. Below the drawer are 2 rimu doors. Both sets of doors have one internal shelf.
It has a few age marks as it is a good few years old but still in quite good condition. Only selling as I don't have the room at the moment.

Call Judy if interested. 3848519. Sorry no camera or cell.

Price: $100

Hi, I'm on the hunt for any unwanted bikes that might be taking up space behind or in the garage, any size, shape, condition.

Wanting to try a little up cycling project with them, once finished I intend to drop down to EcoStore so that might have another life for someone else.

Size/ rust/ working or not all not important. At very least it may save you a trip to the EcoDrop.

Will collect.
Thanks in advance

You'll soon find out as council officials start checking yellow recycling bins over coming weeks.

From Monday a four-strong team will be carrying out spot checks on 7500 bins across Christchurch and Banks Peninsula to ensure residents have not put the wrong items out for recycling.

If you get it right? You get a gold sticker slapped on your bin.

But if you've mixed your shopping receipts, bottle lids or plastic bags in with your beer bottles and plastic trays you can expect a note in your letter box with tips on how to recycle correctly.
