Recycling bins confiscated in Christchurch after residents ignore pleas to separate waste
A growing number of Christchurch households have lost their right to recycle as the city council takes a hard line on people who refuse to separate their waste.
Twenty-six yellow bins have been confiscated by the Christchurch City Council and another 52 will be removed from city streets over the next two weeks.
The residents have been warned three times but continue to put contaminated waste in their recycling bins.
To get the bins back, they will have to pay $97.65 and sign a statement promising to abide by the rules. Their bins will be monitored to make sure they keep that promise.

Gift-giving looks a lot different these days when you can pick up super-cheap goods made overseas. But do they last?

Missing CAT - Northcote | Leander Street - Missing since Nov 10th
SID is still missing! Please check your sheds and around your property! Thank you 🙂 Sid has been missing since 10th November around Leander Street, Northcote.
He snuck away after a stressful move into town, and so will likely be confused and a bit timid.
We are desperate to get him home, his bonded kitty companion (Dizzy) has been found and is missing him terribly. Please keep a look out! Thank You! - If spotted please message me here.
