So this is really a plug for a colleague who sent through an update to her contact list. If you are looking for ways to recycle different types of materials in our local region - this is the regional council recycling resources database ... recycler.arc.govt.nz.

Hey I know it's April fools - we shouldn't be so serious! Jokes aside.

We have been collecting all our old batteries (yep those early wireless keyboards chewed batteries) for at least 6 years waiting for the opportunity to dispose of them (I got the habit 20 years ago in Germany where every supermarket has a battery drop off station). Finally I have the contacts to do just that.

With thanks to Sophie Heighway from Downer EDI Works. ;)
