Get prepared and buy your water tank from the Tip Shop at the Southern Landfill – and remember to refresh the water twice a year.

Hi neighbours,

Today, Stuff is launching a campaign to make Matariki a public holiday from 2021.

Plucked from obscurity and given the breath of life, since the turn of the century, Matariki has blossomed into an inclusive, popular event.

Tied to the rising of Matariki, the Pleiades star cluster, in the night sky, the festival marks the start of te Mātahi o te tau, the new year.

Once a casualty of colonisation, Matariki’s comeback has fostered greater use of te reo Māori, and recognition for Māori customary practices.

We believe it is past time to officially acknowledge all Matariki stands for in our national calendar. To learn more about Stuff's campaign, click here

Poll: Is the Government doing enough to stop recyclable materials going to landfill?

The Team Reporter from Stuff

The Government has thrown $124 million at reducing the country’s growing waste pile, but not everyone agrees that’s enough.

Local Government NZ says the funding should be matched with a “strategic waste plan”, with the goal for New Zealand to be able to process its own waste onshore.

Local Government NZ says the funding should be matched with a “strategic waste plan”, with the goal for New Zealand to be able to process its own waste onshore.

In the last decade, the amount of waste at council landfills has increased by 48 per cent.

Hi Neighbours,

I'm trying to source some cheap/free timber for a hobby project. I want to try making a backyard axe throwing target.

Rather than spending a fortune at a building supply place for new timber, I'm hoping people in the community will have some suitable stuff lying around that they don't want.

I'm mainly looking for thick boards/planks, ideally with the following minimum dimensions (thicker, wider or longer is fine):

40mm (4cm) thick
200mm (20cm) wide
1200mm (1.2m)
long

It doesn't matter if the timber is treated/untreated, wet, weathered, dirty, painted, has nails/nail holes, etc, as long as it's not riddled with bora or rot. It's going to have axes hurled at it repeatedly so it needs to be solid.

Pine would be ideal but any other type of natural wood should be OK.

I may be able to work with timber of slightly different dimensions and I'm also keen on any other timber I can use to construct a stand/frame or use as backing for the target boards (e.g. plywood sheets, weatherboards).

So, if you have any timber you'd like to get rid of, let me know what you've got and what you want for it. If it sounds like something I can potentially use I'll consider it.

Cheers! :-)
