"Kia ora Lower Hutt, the terrible weather at the weekend meant not all of the new rubbish and recycling bins could be delivered as scheduled.
We're doing a big push and all bins should have been delivered by end of day Wednesday, except for properties that have been contacted and are receiving rubbish bags until their bins arrive in July
Suburbs that will have their bins delivered today and tomorrow are in Wainuiomata and include Homedale, Parkway, Glendale, Arakura and Moores Valley. We are also continuing to make deliveries to apartments and townhouses across the city.
We appreciate your patience and understanding and want to reassure you that you will have your bins in time for the new service starting.
If you are not in Wainuiomata, or in an apartment or townhouse – and haven't heard from us directly – please contact us if you have not received your bins. Phone 04 570-6666/ 0800 HUTT CITY or email us at binchanges@huttcity.govt.nz"

he knows first-hand how boring it is to be stuck in a hospital bed.
Born with a bend in his shin bone caused by a growth anomaly, Oliver had major surgery at Wellington Hospital to correct the problem when he was four and has been back many times for ongoing treatment.
When he was tasked at his school to come up with a passion project that would benefit others in the community, he decided to help children staying in Wellington and Hutt Hospitals.
Oliver found watching DVDs a welcome distraction when he was in hospital yet found many were old or scratched so were unusable. He then took it upon himself to ask his local community in Cambridge for help by distributing flyers encouraging people to donate their DVDs. Once he collected more than 150 DVDs, he tested them all to make sure they weren't scratched before donating them.

"Hi there, my name is Opal and I am special girl looking a special home. If you are looking for a goofball dog then I'm the girl for you. I can be very silly, so if you are looking for a laugh then look no further. I am looking for a home with adults only and without small animals due to my quirks and behaviours shown previously. This kind of environment will help me to thrive in training and help me to settle into my new home. I always have a pep in my step and worm my way into peoples' hearts in very little time. I look forward to continuing training with my new owners and am sure to put a smile on your face at the end of a long day. I do come with a medical waiver that my new owners would need to be made aware of. If you think I am the gal for you, contact the canine team for more information."

This picture of a well known Wellingtonian should not be too difficult. What do you remember about her?
The laminator is almost brand new, used maybe 10 times. No longer in business, need gone. It comes with A4 (a few have been used) and A3 (not used still new) laminating sheets.
