I wanted to take the time to highlight the positive side of the Tauranga bin system. For the past four weeks we have heard the whinging rants of people who simply just need to get outside, enjoy the sunshine and breath in the fresh air.

Yes, there has been some issues with the new bin system, but overall it has been good. It works well, and people need to stop being so lazy and learn how to read. It makes me laugh when people say 'it is my right to…”

Well yes, you could also also jump off a cliff without a parachute if you wanted to, but some of you aren't that dumb, right?

Anyway, I hope people learn to appreciate what they have before it is gone. Honestly, if an unemptied bin is all you have to worry about, then life must be pretty good.

Put down the keyboard and go outside.
