Stormy Weather

The storm that worked it's way up the Islands once again only gave Pukawa a glance, very little wind with 64mls over several days,  the rain would do a lot of good as our porous soil  was once again beginning to dry out.

Green Bin Recycling.

The Taupo Council have increased the green bin recycling to allow plastic numbered from 1-7 to be put out for collection, previously it was only numbers 1 & 2, items such as ice cream containers can now go in the bin but not the lids. Only lids that are stamped with a number may go in the bin. Food trays such as those use by the Super Markets are still not to be recycled.
To reduce the amount of food and green waste going to the landfill the council plans to subsidise home composting efforts and provide an education programme to help residents compost successfully. This could work just as well for home owners in Pukawa.
