The Wastedaq
Reduce – Wanaka is one of the only communities in NZ reducing the amount of waste produced. For the last two years total waste sent to Victoria flat landfill from the Wanaka transfer station has gone down by five percent a year. A great result considering the population rise.
Reuse – Sophie’s surveys at New World show 1 in 4 of us says no to plastic bags. Encourage your friends and neighbours to Bag the Habit! If you forget your bags ask for a cardboard box.
Recycle – Kerbside recycling has been running for two years! We picked up 23 percent more recycling in July this year than we got in July 2006! Of the material put out on the kerbside each collection day 38 percent by weight and 61 percent by volume is recycling.
