Our contractors have brought in extra people to help manage the additional work load but there still may be some delays to the usual pick up times.
We ask people living in the following areas to expect potential delays.
Remember that there is no charge to drop off recycling at the rural transfer stations. Read more about our transfer stations here: ► bit.ly...

She is a friendly professional; her dog is, in her words, "...fascinated by other animals and will sniff and wander, but doesn't really chase them. Whether cats like him depends more on the cat. He is an inside and outside dog, outside when [she is] not at home (needs to be fenced, though)...and sleeps inside."
If anyone has recommendations, please let me know and I'll pass them on.
Thanks in advance :)

She's won a movie voucher from Neighbourly and she has 4 days to claim it. I saw it in a blog post that I accessed through the Leads Newsletter, but Julia seems to live too far away so I can't look her up and send her a message.
If you know her, let her know about her prize, please :-)

Last summer we embarked on an ambitious project to make a dent in the wasp population in the Nelson region. We fundraised and were able to lay 390km of bait lines in some of the region's most popular recreational areas, effectively making 10,000 hectares wasp free.
This summer we are delighted to announce we are expanding the programme to other parts of the country which are also affected by high wasp numbers. Vespex is laid in bait stations in late January and February when wasps change to a protein-based diet. It is of low toxicity and safe for bees. Results from last summer showed it has a 95%-99% success rate.
While a small amount of work is Government funded, we're going to raise more funds to get as many areas baited as possible, and we need your help. Go to our Popshop page to contribute to a wasp-free region
So join us in the battle. The more we raise the more areas we can cover.
