If you need firewood Good Wood suppliers are still open
If you’ve got a wood burner at home and you haven’t got your firewood in yet, don’t be tempted by cheap or free offcuts being advertised at the moment.
Often this wood is either treated or painted, which is illegal to burn.
If you burn it you will be causing air pollution and are likely to get a visit from our compliance officers. If you need firewood, Good Wood suppliers are still open as essential services.
Give them a call, and they will deliver – you can find their details here nelson.govt.nz/good-wood.
Remember to follow their lockdown protocols to keep everyone safe.
