Waikato District rubbish fee hike sparks uproar
Waikato District Council’s decision to double the cost of rubbish collection has ignited a storm of backlash, with residents taking to Facebook to voice outrage.
The announcement, made through a Facebook post earlier this week, confirmed that, from July 1, the price of rubbish bag stickers will increase from $1.50 to $3, and wheelie bin tags from $3 to $6.
What do you think about these changes in the Waikato District?
