Rubbish sticker shortage is over!

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A shortage of the pre-paid stickers has caused what one official described as several weeks of rubbish chaos and has seen the stickers become highly sought-after.

The city's sole supplier ran out and when an order for more with a commercial printer was accidentally placed on back-order, thousands of Whanganui residents turned to social media to complain and ask which retailers had stickers available.

The answer: not many, and perhaps none.

But there is good news: Private waste collection company Waste Management who issue the stickers says normal service has resumed.

New supplies of stickers were delivered to retailers on Monday and Tuesday and most should now have stocks.
