Rubbish bag shortage in Porirua
The Porirua council and some supermarkets have run out rubbish bags.
The council says you may now leave a standard black rubbish bag at the kerbside and it will be picked up.
"Please use a black bag like the ones available at most supermarkets so it can be easily spotted from the truck."
Bags still need to weigh less than 15kg and won’t be picked up if they’re heavier than that.
This change will apply to March 32, to allow stocks to build up again.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
0% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
0% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
0% ... It is complicated
