Land Fill Charges

Max & Lizzie from Kairanga

Not sure about the rest of you, but I am already sick of picking up peoples dumped rubbish on our rural road.

The higher the dump fees the more crap will buildup on peoples lawns( as they cannot afford to dispose of it properly through the waste resource centres) and on the side of the road. By all means put up the price, that will cover the cost of councils paying their staff to drive out to the country to pick up the crap dumped on the side of the roads. How very short sighted that is.
Time to encourage recycling not discourage due to cost! Those who can think outside the square need to come up with solutions, ban plastic bottles, bring back glass ones that encourage people to return them. I used to buy all my lollies on returned bottles when I was a child, not a good use of funds, but by collecting bottles you would probably pay your Spark account or save it for winters power bill and there will be no waste to dispose of! Perhaps the takeaways could think about returnable packaging, most of the rubbish I see is KFC, McDonald or subway wrappers and drink containers (with straws). There must be a better way and necessity always leads to invention so lets hope this discussion will kick someone into action. The other killer is the makeup companies with single use packaging, we used to be able to buy refills, why now can you only by your product in a new plastic container? I'm sure being able to refill your holders would reduce the cost of beauty.
How do we stop this?

Remember to get your orders placed online at foodtogether.co.nz... before midday on Tuesday.
This Thursday will be the last hospital pick up at Rata House. This is because Public health (the Rata House residents) are moving office nearer to the city centre and will no longer be able to serve as a pick up in their new venue. Our Public Health contacts have been trying to find an alternative pick up location around the hospital but to date this doesn't seem likely at least for this year. So hospital customers wanting orders on the 12th or 19th December will need to choose to pick up from St Matthews or Te Tihi in Main St.on those two weeks.
Note that 19th December will be our last day for 2019.
Some photo of last weeks orders are below
