'Consumers' lazy attitudes' means two thirds of recycling in central Christchurch goes to landfill

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Consumers' "lazy attitudes" are to blame for most of the recycling in the city centre going straight into landfill.

The Christchurch City Council installed 18 rubbish/recycling "combos" and 22 standalone recycling units within the four avenues but glass, cans and plastic collected at more than half of those sites is routinely added to the trash because of organic waste contamination.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
