Recycling will take
place as normal Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.
Attention is drawn to the
usual Christmas packaging in large boxes.
THESE MUST BE BROKEN UP
AND PLACED IN YOUR RECYCLING BINS OR THEY WILL NOT BE COLLECTED.
If your material has been left behind, this is the reason, so please be
considerate and take it back onto your property to wait for the next
collection rather than leave it in an unsightly mess on the roadside
during the holiday season.
See guidelines below which are on your 2013 Waste Calendar. If
anyone needs a calendar, please email me cassgye@spin.net.au
If you have a missing or damaged recycling crate please call Pittwater
Council on 9970 1111 for delivery of a free replacement.
HAPPY RECYCLING AND MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!
RECYCLE RIGHT!
Containers Recycling - Monday roadside collection only

Heads Up - New Thing
to Run Into in your tinnies !
As directed by NSW
Maritime (or whatever they're called now they've joined the RTA), one
of the Water Taxis commercial moorings has been moved from due West of
the Water Taxi's Floating Office at Church Point, to due East of same.
So there is now a dirty great big fat orange mooring buoy between the
Water Taxi Office and the yellow Special Mark (8 knot buoy), right
where lots of commuters, particularly coming from Tennis and Towlers,
barrel through on their way to and from the Commuter Wharf.
It's a perky little mooring but don't be fooled - beneath the surface
is some of Broken Bay Lighterage's finest work. Attempts to run
over same in anything less than the Queen Mary may not end well.
Yours aye
Pink Water Taxis (conveniently located next to the Point of Impact)

There is nothing like
Offshore Ingenuity !
The emergency band-aid
Take a paper towel and a champagne cork wire cage and you have a robust
solution for a band-aid.
Our first responders have no excuses NOT to carry champagne with them
now!
Be very careful, just don't let Lisa near you if you have a broken leg
or arm - goodness knows what she will come up with to "temporally" fix
it up.
