Every Thursday evening I walk a short section of Pakuranga Road and Ridge Road into Howick.
With the introduction of the food waste bins I have learned that a surprising number of users are not following the directions on top of the bin lid.
It shows the handle raised into an upright position. This enables the collector to easily and quickly empty the bin, but, more importantly, the raised handle locks the lid shut to deter dogs, cats, rats and seagulls from availing themselves of a gourmet snack!
So please raise your handle to salute the collector! That will save me from interrupting my route march-style of exercise.
