Old phone needed

David from Tawa

If anyone has an old smartphone sitting around taking up space that they can't bring themselves to throw away in case someone needs it, we need it.

If anyone has an old smartphone sitting around taking up space that they can't bring themselves to throw away in case someone needs it, we need it.

I have a son with special needs and his phone (which was actually mum's old phone) has conked out. His main use for it is listening to music, so it doesn't need to be fancy.

Any help is appreciated.

Say goodbye to tyre waste

Tyrewise

About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.

About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.

The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.

Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

The Long Term Plan is open for consultation and we want YOUR input.

We have two main topics we are consulting on. These are:

🚌Should Greater Wellington own the region's bus assets (depots and charging stations)?

Should Greater Wellington own 100% of CentrePort?

The region's buses are owned by private companies and operated on our behalf. We are proposing the ownership of buses, depots, and charging infrastructure to provide long-term security and future-proof facilities.

Currently we own 76.92% of the shares for CentrePort. We are proposing the purchase of the remaining 23.08% to establish 100% control of the shares. Full ownership means CentrePort will remain in public ownership and enable us to determine its future.

Do you agree or disagree with these proposals? Let us know your thoughts in the link below 👇

Its a bit of a grey Sunday morning so a walk amongst the flowers is just what you need to brighten things up. It is also a perfect day for taking photographs of beautiful flowers. Dewdrops on the dahlias? There is so much to see at the moment so you are very welcome to visit and share the garden with us. This is our last open day until later in the year as we need to get busy bulb planting for our Spring displays. Hope to see you soon. Carolyn.

UPDATE: Thanks everyone for your responses. I got a cable but the bloody thing still isn't reachable. I guess it goes on the tip now.
=================

I need a USB cable that fits this kind of plug.

I had one of these but threw it away a while ago because honestly, who is ever going to use one of these? Well, as it turns out, the touch screen on our printer died, so while the printer itself is perfectly functional, I can't use it. If I can connect to it via usb, I might be able to configure it that way.

Does anyone have one of these to spare? Doesn't have to be free.
