Rubbish sticker shortage is over!
A shortage of the pre-paid stickers has caused what one official described as several weeks of rubbish chaos and has seen the stickers become highly sought-after.
The city's sole supplier ran out and when an order for more with a commercial printer was accidentally placed on back-order, thousands of Whanganui residents turned to social media to complain and ask which retailers had stickers available.
The answer: not many, and perhaps none.
But there is good news: Private waste collection company Waste Management who issue the stickers says normal service has resumed.
New supplies of stickers were delivered to retailers on Monday and Tuesday and most should now have stocks.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
