Waste
As a country, we create a lot of waste. Each month, New Zealanders dispose of enough rubbish to fill a rugby field 30 stories high. Sixty-five percent of the average rubbish bag could be recycled or composted. Waste is everyone's problem and we all need to take responsibility for the rubbish we create.
The Otago Regional Coucil sets out rules on waste minimisation for Otago. These are outlined in our publication - Regional Plan: Waste.
