And we have a "green waste" bin for anything that doesn't either go into the compost or is not suitable for the worms or chooks. We have very little actual food or green 'waste / rubbish'.
So with the new system I have an immediate dilemma - what do I do with all those absorbent pad things the supermarkets place in trays under chicken, fish, meat etc?
Consulting Mr Google I find they're absorbent materials covered in perforated plastic - so they can't go in the food bin. But certainly NOT recyclable as they contain food matter. So they must be 'general waste?
NO, you can't put anything containing food into general waste!
So I'm imagining the pong, let alone flies, maggots etc if they DO have to sit in my general waste bin for up to two weeks - but I suppose I could I buy plastic bags to wrap them in so they don't cause a pollution problem to me or my neighbours in the interim?
Or should I take them back to the relevant supermarkets so they can deal with them?
Ok so I'm being a bit pedantic about this but have the council really thought about all the exceptions to the general 'waste' rule as I’m sure there will be other anomalies as well.

- What is the zero waste movement? Why is waste reduction important?
- How zero waste principles can revolutionise your perspectives on living and lifestyle, beyond your rubbish bin.
- Innovative examples of waste minimisation policy, practice and thinking from around the globe, and how these might inform community-level waste reduction.

The spray operators wear masks, but people and dogs can't, and the areas could be avoided if they were alerted. Today large areas were sprayed, there was a strong odour, and roundup could be a carcinogen. Please, council? What do others think?
Local elections impact us all, but many of us don't take the time to make our voices heard.
In fact, only 38.5% of Aucklanders voted in the 2016 local body election.
