Poll: Recycling Facility for Cust
The Cust Community Network have asked the Waimakariri District Council (WDC) for a recycling facility at Cust, similar to the covered skip for mixed recycling at Oxford.
As it stands, residents outside the Cust village collection area transport their recycling to the Oxford or Southbrook Transfer Stations.
In considering the proposal, the WDC need an indication of the number of people that would use a local recycling facility in Cust before potentially doing a trial.
If you live in the Cust area, outside the current collection zone for rubbish and recycling in the village, CCN would appreciate your help with the following poll.
Would you use a Cust based recycling facility?
-
93.8% Yes I would.
-
6.3% No, I would not.
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?
