Some Papakura residents are so frustrated about their bin tags being swiped off their rubbish bins, they're coming up with some pretty creative ways to deter thieves. The pay-as-you-throw tags were introduced by Auckland Council in Papakura and west Auckland earlier this year and range from between $2.60- $5.50 a bin. To read more, click here.
Although the bin tags aren't city-wide, it got us wondering what other rubbish-bin issues were out there? Has your bin been stolen before? Do people fill your bins with their rubbish and recycling? Have you had lids or wheels broken off them? What extreme measures have you taken to make sure your rubbish gets collected? Let us know in the replies.

Many rare NZ seabirds can be seen and heard including NZ Dotterel, Variable Oystercatchers and Bar-tailed godwits. Flying mullet and stingrays are often sighted in the shallows of the Okura Estuary and Karepiro Bay, as they cruise under your kayak. Myrtle and Turtle, two resident stingrays, are regularly seen feeding off Dacre Cottage.

If anyone has a disused/broken machine from which I could salvage a handle/filter holder/porta filter, I would gratefully collect. My model is Breville BES840CB however most of the filter holders with 3 tabs around outer edge should work. Many thanks neighbourly neighbours, Adrian (Orewa) 0275275899
