Meet Jasmine (Te Rarawa, Te Aupouri, Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Hine) who shares “Awanuiārangi offered an accessible teaching programme that meant I didn't have to move away from home in North Hokianga. I’ve grown personally and professionally through my studies making my whānau/hapū proud.

The amnesty days will allow hazardous waste to be taken to the city’s Re:Sort centre to ensure experienced regional council waste management staff and a contractor are on hand to identify substances, sort them, and store them safely for disposal.
While the facility is operated by Whangārei District Council, hazardous waste disposal has continued to be managed by NRC.
The free monthly amnesty days will be widely advertised in the lead-up to the change, with the first hazardous waste disposal amnesty day scheduled for 17 November 2020 between the hours of 8 am and 12 noon.
For details and the full schedule read the article on the NRC website.

In fact, once you’ve tacked on the weekends, you’ll end up getting a whopping 25 days off out of those 10 stat days, plus your region’s anniversary day.
