That's obviously a popular spot if the amount of rubbish that was there was a indication of that. I spent an hour picking it up, but I wonder how long it'll be before there's more. I have contacted the Western Bay of Plenty District Council and suggested that they put a rubbish bin up there (they are emptying the one at the lookout so it wouldn't be a stretch to empty one there as well). If other people agree there should be a bin there, please contact them as well. The more people talk about it, the more likely it'll happen 🙂
