Is there a dumping hotspot near you?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

An illegal dumping hotspot outside a Kāinga Ora housing complex has cost the state landlord more than $12,000 to clean up, but stopping it from happening remains a difficult job.

The oak tree is outside a 32-home complex on Peachgrove Rd near the intersection with Clyde St in Hamilton East and has mostly been surrounded by rubbish for the last five years.

Is rubbish illegally dumped near you? Let us know in the comments. (Please add NFP if you don't want your comments to appear in print.)
