Poll: Is losing your bin a fair way to stop recycling mistakes?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whakatāne District Council plans to crack down on residents recycling mistakes with a "three-strikes" rule - contaminate your bin three times and you could lose it for three months.

The goal? Less landfill, more proper recycling.
