We are happy to confirm that our contractors are feeling better and glass collections will start again on Monday 18 April.

We know there will be a bit of a backlog, but we ask that you please only put your glass out in official Council crates, and put it out in stages so that we don't overwhelm the processing plant.

You can still drop your glass off for free at the Recycling Centre at the Southern Landfill.

Co-mingled recycling in bags and wheelie bins is still being collected and recycled as normal.

Thank you all for your patience, kindness and empathy during this time. It is greatly appreciated by us and our contractors.

Vintage 1970s Breville Teasmade

Julie from Karori

I bought this Teasmade as a surprise for English visitors, so they could set the timer for a nice cup of tea on waking. It did work perfectly and it is in absolutely pristine condition. Even though it is about 50 years old , it still looks new and appears to have had very little use in the past.

Even though it is about 50 years old , it still looks new and appears to have had very little use in the past. As I am not a tea drinker I have decided to sell it. It has full instructions and is very simple to use. Great for a guest room , an Air b&b or for yourself.
These are highly collectable and hard to come by. I will leave it on Neighbourly for a few days and if not sold, put it on Trademe for a higher price.

Price: $95
