The Wellington Regional Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (WMMP), developed in 2017, set a primary target of reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill by one third per person per year from 600 kilograms to 400kg by 2026.
However, according to a Greater Wellington Regional Council report, the amount of waste sent to landfills in the past three years has increased by 17kg, from 606kg per person per year to 623kg, as at June 30. Wellingtonians also recycled less. The amount of recycling processed in the same period decreased by 6kg per person per year to 59kg.

In February the Department of Conservation translocated 29 juvenile tūturuatu, or shore plovers, to Mana, off Porirua, however in July it was reported all 29 birds had vanished. Some were discovered on the mainland, recaptured and placed back on the island with more captive-bred plovers.
Last month it was discovered some had ended up as lunch for a resident kārearea or New Zealand falcon. Others would have been susceptible to being gobbled up by cats, rats and stoats on the mainland.

I'm looking for a solution / recommendations in terms of the following dilemma ..
The gas supply to a tenanted property I currently manage is via 2x 17.5kg refillable bottles which in the past have been refilled from the self service gas refill station in Newtown however unfortunately this has now closed down with the only alternative in Petone.
Unfortunately, this poses an issue given that the tenants do not have a vehicle however another issue is, is that having contacted many gas companies it seems no one will deliver either.
A further issue is that gas companies will not refill 17.5kgs and if we were to move to the next size bottle 45kg, they still wont deliver due to stairs to the property falling under a safety hazard.
I'm not sure where to from here in terms of finding a solution, therefore if any one has any helpful recommendations / ideas please do share.
Cheers,
Katrina
