We go out to the recycle centre regularly where we recycle all glass, metal, and plastic. All lights get taken apart into bits so we can recycle as much as possible and send less to waste. We also take out and recycle your old heat pumps and bathroom heaters etc. For a little extra time and effort its worth it to be as eco friendly a business as we can and Pip loves getting a treat of a dog biscuit by the eco centres friendly staff. If you are committed to recycling and need any Electrical work done give us a shout for a quote. Sorry Pip doesn't join Patrick on home visits.

Last night my daughter and I spent a couple of hours driving round the burwood , lower shirley area and the bottle lake plantation looking for MEE MEE or mimi. Shes just a small girl about halfway between a medium sized dog and a tiny one.
Her mums been out looking everywhere. She could be all the way between nth beach and Shirley and may be injured. Please check your gardens or empty sections.
As a dog lover this distresses us. We saw her but she was gone by the time we got there, probably hiding.
This is also up on NEW bRIGHTON REPUBLICS messages online so check there for updates.
