Christchurch council removes 840 rubbish bins from parks, adds 100 'smart bins'

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

More than 200 Christchurch parks will be left without rubbish bins when the city council finishes removing 840 of them across the city.

About 100 “smart” bins will be installed instead, but 211 “low-use” neighbourhood parks will have their bins taken away and not returned.

More than 200 Christchurch parks will be left without rubbish bins when the city council finishes removing 840 of them across the city.

About 100 “smart” bins will be installed instead, but 211 “low-use” neighbourhood parks will have their bins taken away and not returned.

The smart bins are bigger and are equipped with sensor technology that provides the council’s maintenance contractor with daily information on how full each bin is.

Council head of parks Andrew Rutledge​ said the data meant the contractor only needed to send crews out to empty the bins when required, saving time and money.

In areas without bins, the council encouraged people to take any rubbish home with them, and put it in their red wheelie bin.

Employees of the Addington railway workshops pedal homeward on a cold July evening in
1946.

The workshops stood at what is now Tower Junction. They built, maintained and repaired railway stock and were a major employer in Christchurch.

The Christchurch terrain suited cycling and the city was known for its bikes. Few workers owned cars, so bikes and trams dominated city streets after the 5pm knock-off time.

The 40-hour week and eight-hour working day, introduced 10 years earlier but in general practice only from 1946, contributed to the 5 o'clock rush.

How much did it cost to install 20 traffic lights on a tiny intersection in the city? then the removal of those 20 traffic lights?? How much time and cost did it take to change the Red Buses to that really ugly COLD Teal colour? How much did it cost for the Manchester debarcle?? Remove bins from public places where there aren't enough already??? How much is Catherine Chu going to reimburse the Otautahi rate payers for not doing her job? cos you can sure bet if we don't pay our rates on time we get penalised....NO wonder the people of CHCH are fed up with the Great CCC Grift! We have a right to know who and how these decisions are being made.

Hi Canterbury,

How's your community doing after the floods? Are you satisfied with the emergency response?

It's been over a week since 400% of the monthly average rainfall caused flooding in Canterbury, with multiple districts plunged into a state of emergency.

River engineers are working across the region, with sites being strengthened by machinery. Environment Canterbury Rivers manager, Leigh Griffiths, says that teams are continuing to monitor rainfall and river levels across the region.

"We're working closely with Civil Defence and the MetService to monitor the situation and will be posting rainfall and river flow updates on our website as the situation develops. We suggest that people avoid rivers and check the road conditions before travelling," he said.

The weather event triggered a state of emergency, hundreds of evacuations, and closed roads and bridges throughout the region. The red heavy rain warning was issued on Saturday night, the second since the warning's inception.
