Poll: Christchurch: Is confiscating recycle bins something you support?

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Hi Christchurch,

Almost 1300 Christchurch households no longer have a yellow bin as the city council continues to take a hard line on trashy recycling practices.

During the past 12 months 1468 bins have been confiscated from properties following numerous warnings.

Just 177 have been returned, leaving 1291 households with no ability to have their recycling collected at the kerb.

Christchurch City Council took action after an unprecedented number of recycling bins were filled with non-recycleable material following the Covid-19 lockdown last year.

Do you think confiscating recycle bins is the right approach for our city?
