We thought this was amazing. What a great way to teach your children the value of saving and getting them to add up the money is a fun way to do some maths. You could try using different bottles and different coins here in NZ.

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. I was employed by a school immediately after completing, am now focusing on my teacher registration, and planning to return to study for a Master of Indigenous Studies”

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.
