## Resource

Whakatāne’s greenwaste bins are full of surprises—ranging from a Tana Umaga rugby book to baby diapers and a car hubcap. The council’s social media plea for help tracking down the book sparked a bigger conversation about contamination ruining composting efforts and costing taxpayers. With a “three strikes” policy already in place, they’re urging residents to stick to garden clippings only—no household trash. And yes, they still want that rugby book back.
