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.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
