Donating to Salvation army shop Lower hutt think about it

Karl from Alicetown

Think about donating to other places as well as Sal army shop Lower hutt This shop dumps a huge amount of stuff. Dont see much effort to recycle. Most electrical item go in to bin because they have no one to check them. They could quite easily give this stuff to.Earthlink at Wingate. Or cut plugs off and sell as is . This is what wellington Tip shop often does.
They throw a huge amount of books away . Why not give them away. All Bicycles are dumped. Earthlink would recycle these
They dont care about sustainability. Keeping items out of landfill,
i realise they do get plain junk and need to dump it. However so much good stuff gets dumped. I have seen it happen and have herad it from people who have worked there.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
