Thousands of Lower Hutt households without bins
About 3000 households won’t have their new bins in time for the start of Lower Hutt’s revamped waste and recycling service.
The Hutt City Council has blamed Covid-19 related shipping delays on the hold-up, with the last lot of bins not scheduled to arrive from Australia – where they were manufactured – until after the July 1 start date.
Council chief executive Jo Miller said the delay occurred despite efforts to have the bins brought over earlier.
Interim arrangements have been made for households that will be without the bins when the new service starts. The green recycling crates currently in use would continue to be emptied.
Poll: Should employees be able to work from home?
At the post-Cabinet press conference, the National Party asserted they want public sector staff to return to the office. This has opened a conversation about other sectors in New Zealand who have adopted working from home (WFH).
