Bins have been removed from 200 Christchurch parks but the rubbish remains

Removing hundreds of bins from across Christchurch has turned some parks into “eyesores” and led to calls for them to be returned.

The Christchurch City Council has taken away 840 bins from parks and is installing 81 “smart” bins instead, leaving 211 neighbourhood parks without a rubbish bin and others with fewer bins than before.

While the council says the transition has been “very smooth” and has only resulted in a few litter complaints, residents and councillors are reporting a different picture.

Residents have resorted to picking up litter themselves, but their patience is wearing thin. Some are blaming the council for taking the bins away in the first place, while others say people need to be responsible for their own rubbish and take it home. Continue reading here.

A shortage of wheelie bin truck drivers meant residents in 377 Christchurch streets had their bins missed during a single month.

Meanwhile, a union representative says the wheelie bin collection industry was struggling to find workers nationwide because rubbish truck drivers are put off by 60-hour work weeks.

The Christchurch City Council's rubbish collecting contractor, Waste Management NZ, is set a target of missing just 1.5 streets each working day. In April, the average number of streets missed was 17.1.
