Our new new electric rubbish and recycling trucks

Grace from Hutt City Council

♻️This morning we were visited by the first (of many to come) new electric rubbish and recycling trucks♻️

11 of these trucks will be on our roads next year and will save us 957 tonnes of carbon emissions annually = to 473 cars.

We also announced who our new contractor for kerbside rubbish and recycling will be - Waste Management New Zealand.

We're one of the first councils in New Zealand to have an entire electric rubbish and recycling truck fleet.

Begonia house to be demolished at botanic gardens

Karl from Alicetown

It's outrageous that the Wellington City Council are going to demolish the Begonia house at the Botanic gardens. This is an asset. One would have thought the green faction of the council would have supported fixing it. It's strange no one has questioned the price required to fix it.
