A new movement has started on the battle to reduce plastic and waste: BYOC - bring your own container.

The Nelson woman uses her own containers to buy groceries from Bin Inn and for takeaways from her local Indian restaurant. It's the next step from reusable coffee cups, and the practice is being encouraged in a "Bring Your Own Container" campaign from the Nelson Environment Centre. Read more

Do you bring your own containers to cafes, restaurants or supermarkets?

I am looking for laptops or tablets that are either working or not.

My aim is to repair if possible and move on to those in need.

I have no intention of profiting from these. I only try to gain reimbursement for any costs associated with the repairs ... ie. replacing screens, mainboards, hard drives etc.

I also wipe the hard drives removing all evidence of any previous owner and reinstall operating systems such as Windows.

If you have any that you are willing to part with please call me or send a text to 022 3243695 and I will gladly collect from you.

Thank you
