    Council eyes $37 waste levy as landfill space runs low

    Why would councils think that $39 would have any effect on white goods manufacturer?

    Favourite takeaway extras disappear as new plastic ban targets everyday items

    I’ve seen sets of reusable metal cutlery, knife, fork and spoon, sold in a tin container about the size of a normal glasses case for your handbag.
