Strong plastic sacks
My partners family business (in Swanson, West Auckland) processes soy beans and has an endless supply of strong plastic sacks to dispose of. Up until recently, they had a person who took them all but that arrangement has come to an end and we need to find someone else (or several places) who would like some or all of them.
Otherwise, we will have no option but to send them to landfill.
Once, many years ago, I saw a database that matched businesses, with a resource to dispose of, with other businesses that had a use for them. (One persons waste is another person’s treasure?)
Would anyone like a large ongoing supply of sacks? (Note that they are not UV treated, so, they should not be left in the sun for extended periods.) And/or does anyone know of a suitable "resource" centre that could find a taker?
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
