Christchurch Rubbish Collection 2009

by antbrown on September 24, 2008

Oh yes, I’m concerned about our cities Rubbish Collection plans and policies, aren’t you?

Well you should be, within the next month we’re going to have these strange plastic structures turning up at our houses, with wheels where their feet should be! Get ready Christchurch, the wheelie bins are coming!

Don’t get too excited though, because we don’t get to use them for another 6 months. I think the council see it as a form of extended love-making, they’ll give us the good stuff to play with but we can’t put anything in them for another 6 months. Our city council sure is a tease!

This is all part of the new Kerbside Collection Service the council are hoping to roll out in early 2009 aiming at reducing the amount of waste we send to the Kate Valley Landfill by one third.

We’re going to get three new bins for our for all our filthy needs. One for rubbish (obviously), one for recycling and yet another for compost. The compost is the new contender and is for those without insinkeratorz or home composting systems.
