ENVIROWASTE CHARGED COMMERCIAL RATES FOR RESIDENCE FOR PAST 15 YEARS !

Anna from Northcote Point

Hey there neighbours. It was only when I went to cancel Envirowaste this week who collect my yellow bin (because of the sky rocketing price for weekly collection) that Envirowaste tell me I have been paying commercial rates for a residential bin for over 15 - 20 years. They tell me the they don't owe me any money as all residential properties were charged commercial rates back in the day? Any lawyers out there ? Do I have a case under the Fair Trade Act, the Consumer's Guarantee Act or for the Small Claims Court ? They are only now offering to give me a discount on a residential bin after they have jacked the prices to astronomical levels over the years. I would be interested to know what others thought ?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
