Is there a dumping hotspot near you?
An illegal dumping hotspot outside a Kāinga Ora housing complex has cost the state landlord more than $12,000 to clean up, but stopping it from happening remains a difficult job.
The oak tree is outside a 32-home complex on Peachgrove Rd near the intersection with Clyde St in Hamilton East and has mostly been surrounded by rubbish for the last five years.
