Waste fees
Due to inflation and to cover the increased costs of Emission Trading Scheme compliance, there will be some price changes in the world of waste from Saturday 1 August.
Domestic general waste drop-off at the Southern Landfill will rise from a minimum charge of $10 to $15, and from $160 to $170 per tonne.
Domestic green waste charges remain the same at $5 for minimum drop-off.
The recommended retail price of official Council rubbish bags will also increase from $2.50 to $2.75 per bag.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
35.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
