Poll: Do you think councils running a shared rubbish service would be better?
Hamilton mayoral candidate Sarah Thomson reckons it’s time the city considered a new “in house” method of dealing with its rubbish and recycling, instead of simply letting foreign-owned companies truck it away.
In an announcement made on Saturday morning, Thomson said collaboration with other councils to deliver rubbish and recycling services might work for Hamilton - and it would at least be worth investigating to see if it would be cheaper than the current model.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
