"There are about 70,000 people [in Waimakariri], yet nothing here – not even an emergency on-call doctor. Oxford, Kaiapoi, Rangiora, even Pegasus is in our area. If it's a weekend all those people just have to go to [Christchurch]."

If you have missed the collection or your bag is too heavy to be collected you can take it to the dump yourself at no charge. Or if you have several that you want to get rid of at once you can do the same. This is not so if there is only wheelie bin collection as in Chch. You can't take any black rubbish bags to the dump there. I, for one, want to retain the independence of being able to dispose of my bags when it suits me.

A warning has been issued for the man-made lake every summer since 2014-15 and usually remains in place until April.
