Hi neighbours,

A five-month food-scraps collection trial run by Palmerston North City Council has saved 16,010 kilograms of food from going to the landfill.

It was instead turned to compost at the Awapuni Resource Recovery Park.

Central Government has announced that all councils will have to set up a food waste collection service by 2030.

Do you already separate your food scraps for compost, or does it go in the trash or down the insinkerator?

If you have family who have been feeling cold in their home through winter, help may be at hand to make their home warm, dry, and healthy.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more homes are eligible for insulation grants. It gets better - there are lots of community organisations offering extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to our website to check their eligibility, today.
