Keep rag monsters away this festive season

The Team from Wellington Water

A full house over the Christmas period can put extra stress on your homes plumbing.

You don't want to have to call in a plumber to clear out a 'rag monster'.

‘Rag Monsters’ are made up of wet wipes, nappies, cloth, tampons, sanitary and incontinence pads, hair and other non-biodegradable material.

These items have no place in the wastewater system and should never be flushed down the toilet.

Give your loo the ultimate gift today by only flushing the 3Ps down the toilet: Pee, Poo and [toilet] Paper.

Happy Christmas!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Can anyone give advice on how to do this? I have already reported the interference to the neighbourly team.
