Kia ora whānau, our local Onehunga Community Recycling centre have a great initiative coming up. Recycle your e-waste and batteries safely. 💚

𝗞𝗼𝗵𝗮 𝗔𝘁𝘂, 𝗞𝗼𝗵𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝗶. Give Some, Take Some.

We're inviting the community to bring along their household batteries and e-waste for 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴. ♻️ It's our way of giving back, reducing waste, and helping recover valuable materials that can be reused instead of ending up in landfill.

This kaupapa is all about community, giving what you can, taking what you need, and looking after the place we all call home. 🌏 Whether you're clearing out old cables, phones, laptops, small electronics, or used household batteries, we'd love to see you there.

Thanks to our partners Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board and ReGroup for their support with this kaupapa. Let’s keep hazardous waste out of our landfills, together!

𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲: We 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 accept fridges, whiteware, or dehumidifiers under this scheme. Please speak to our team for more options!

To our wonderful whānau volunteers - thank you! It’s in the shared work — the laughs, the effort, the care — that we find real connection.

Kia ora Whānau,
Did you know that Auckland Council have free native seedlings to give away? Check out the post below if a native seedling is what your garden needs.

If you're worried what plants are safe/unsafe for children, you can check out Landcare's list of Plants poisonous to children here:https://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/assets/Publications/Poisonous-plants/plants-in-new-zealand-poisonous-to-children.pdf
