Auckland Council has proposed a move from weekly to fortnightly kerbside rubbish collections along with other measures in order to move closer to a zero-waste target by 2040.

Brian from Mount Roskill

The draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2024 (WWMP 2024) includes proposals to increase options to re-use, repair or re-purpose items and advocate for a rethink on how they are designed to extend their life span.

The draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2024 (WWMP 2024) includes proposals to increase options to re-use, repair or re-purpose items and advocate for a rethink on how they are designed to extend their life span.
It also includes the targeting of construction and demolition waste, organic, plastics, packaging, textiles and biosolids, addressing litter and illegal dumping, and speeding up minimisation of waste generated by Auckland Council.
The draft WWMP 2024 outlines the "next important steps" to reduce waste and emissions, and cleaning up Auckland's waterways and environment, said chair of the planning, environment and parks committee Richard Hills.
"It builds on previous work undertaken by Auckland Council by doing more to keep resources in circulation and minimise harm caused by waste, while creating jobs and boosting the economy."
1.5 million tonnes of waste a year goes to landfill a year in Auckland, enough to fill Eden Park on a weekly basis. Without changes, this is expected to rise to at least 1.7 million tonnes annually by 2040.
Hills said that Aucklanders have shown their willingness to make changes toward a circular economy, acknowledging the efforts of young people in demanding action.

"Despite ambitious targets, we have seen steady progress in moving Tāmaki Makaurau towards this goal over the past decade, but it’s clear we can do more."
Auckland Council is also seeking feedback on a separate draft waste plan for the Hauraki Gulf Islands, which have their own unique waste management needs and challenges.
Aucklanders have until March 28 to have their say on the draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (WMMP) 2024 and the Draft Hauraki Gulf Islands Waste Plan 2024.

Evie is a 14 year old grey tortie - quite pretty colouring (mainly grey with caramel) with some cream on her chest. No white on her at all. She has been missing since 16 November, 2023.

Please take a screenshot of this post so you have photos and my number handy in case you see her.

She likes people but might not let you pick her up so please take a video or photo if you see her and call me asap on 021 072 0933 (Anna).

She’s quite lean and small to medium size. When she’s happy she ‘talks’ ❤️ De-sexed and microchipped.

Last seen in Mont Le Grand Rd, Mt Eden. Please check your garage, shed, garden and under deck and house.

Apparently cats who are hiding don’t meow so please look carefully even if you don’t hear her. Thank you so much 🙏

Are you concerned about water quality?

Oxidative stress, caused by chemicals and contaminants in our water, increases the risk of serious illnesses like skin cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory diseases, all prevalent in NZ. Shockingly, even bottled water is being proven to be unsafe, often containing chemicals, microplastics, and adding to the plastic waste crisis.

Discover a solution that can save you thousands, improve your family’s health, and reduce household toxins, and plastic waste!
